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” .
