Strip out formatting characters like \n before transmission

[simonsan]

Because of the line breaks cloud-translate sometimes doesn't translate well, when a sentence spans over more than one line. Because the \n broke the grammatic of the sentence.

Example

This sentence is a good one as it usually\n
fits into a single line.

Would get translated by cloud-translate to something like this (abstract):

Dieser Satz ist ein guter, weil er normalerweise\n
passt in eine einzige Zeile.

It wouldn't factor in the second line of the translation as it only translates line by line, it seems?

Hi @simonsan, thanks for opening this!

Can you try sending both

This sentence is a good one as it usually\n
fits into a single line.

as well as

This sentence is a good one as it usually fits into a single line.

through Cloud Translate? You should be able to prepare a PO file with one string and then the other. If the results are different, it would confirm that we should strip out the \n characters. So far, I assumed that it wouldn't matter, but I don't really know this for sure.
