[Archivesspace_Users_Group] need help customizing text in ArchivesSpace

[Majewski, Steven Dennis (sdm7g)]

There shouldn’t be a text value after ‘brand:’   
The value of en.brand is the hash of the following values, so that en.brand.title, for example, maps to a value.  
If you take out that text it should work: 

en:
 brand:
  title: McDaniel College Archives Catalog
  home: Home
  welcome_message: HEY HEY HEY! !


Error message is a bit confusing, but it’s trying to say it can’t assign mappings of title, home, welcome_message, to en.brand because it already has a string value of “McDaniel Archives” .

>> One thing to check:  the spaces and indentation in .yml files are significant, and you can’t mix tabs(*)  with spaces, so you should make sure that you haven’t accidentally inserted a tab when editing.  You can edit the file in place for testing, but for normal production, I advise copying the values you want to change into plugins/local/public/locales/en.yml and editing them there.  But again, you have to be careful to preserve .yml hierarchy.
