1317141 - l20n: string on multiple lines is cut without warnings

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Pontoon, defect, P2)

Description

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

The original string uses |

In my translation I got rid of the pipe, and without putting much thought into it I put a newline between the two paragraph.

Result: the string was exported with only the first paragraph, and imported back from GitHub, loosing the second paragraph in Pontoon. I noticed the issue by pure luck, when removing elements from History of the string.

That's expected with the current FTL implementation.

Think of textarea as what follows the equals sign in the entity code:

We'll resolve it as part of bug 1280686.
