In which of these areas are you experiencing a problem?

Theme

Expected behavior

It should be possible to use pluralisation with html keys without a ValidJSON error getting triggered.

Actual behavior

A ValidJSON error is triggered.

Verbose output

info ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

locales/en.default.json

Incorrect type. Expected "string".

208 "count_html": {
209 "one": "There is <span class="count">{{ count }} item",
210 "other": "There are <span class="count">{{ count }} items"
211 }

Reproduction steps

1. Add this to your locales file:

  "example": {
    "count_html": {
      "one": "There is <span class=\"count\">{{ count }}</span> item",
      "other": "There are <span class=\"count\">{{ count }}</span> items"
    }
  },

2. Add this to your liquid file:

      {{ 'example.count_html' | t: count: 1 }}<br/>
      {{ 'example.count_html' | t: count: 2 }}<br/>

3. Run shopify theme check

The file is reported as invalid, however if you preview the theme the pluralisation clearly works.

Hi @mgmanzella, yes, it certainly is. Apologies if I reported in the wrong place, I did check this repo for open tickets, but not the other one. I'm not entirely familiar with how the various Shopify repos are linked / where the boundaries are.
