We have our own "quote_po" sub that is stating that Locale::PO::quote is buggy
because it does not deal with quoting new lines correctly. However it seems
that it is fixed now.

Ideally we could use Locale::PO::quote everywhere, but it does not escape tab
characters:
  $string =~ s/\\(?!t)/\\\\/g;           # \t is a tab

This means the following:
msgid "Tabulation (\\t)"
msgstr "Tabulation (\\t)"
become:
-msgid "Tabulation (\t)"
-msgstr "Tabulation (\t)"

And we are seeing the following on Weblate: https://snipboard.io/BjQmDC.jpg

Note that Locale::PO has not been updated since 2014...
