Special symbols not allowed? colons, trailing whitespaces, starting quotation marks...

Hi BADR team!

we're delighted with this tool, it has boosted our translation speed by a long shot, but we've run into a really weird issue: it would seem the translations are not escaped when stored in the DB.

What I mean is, I can add News but not News:, nor "News" as a translation. Same thing happens with leading and trailing whitespaces, leading quotation marks...

This forces us to modify these entries manually after exporting them to YAML, which beats the purpose of the TC. Here you are a sequence of screenshots for improved clarity:

What is saved instead:

Are we missing something? Is there something we're doing terribly wrong? If that's not the case, is it a bug, a missing feature?

Thank you again for this great gem, keep up the good work!
Sergio

In this line

params[:value].strip # => "Board:"

but

YAML.load(params[:value].strip) # => {"Board"=>nil}

so it would appear that YAML.load is the culprit, but why is this happening?

Thanks!
