There is a problem with \n (newline) and pootle.

At the moment there is no possibility to translate \n (newline) with pootle.
I think newlines and tabs might be also confusing for new translators.

An example:

Pootle shows: (see screenshot)
- Budget amount cannot be blank\n
- Etatsumme darf nicht leer sein\n

--------------------

po file: \\n 
#. SCRIPT
#:
/home/katrin/kohaclone/koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/admin/aqbudgets.tmpl:84
msgid "- Budget amount cannot be blank\\n"
msgstr "- Etatsumme darf nicht leer sein\\n"

--------------------

Poedit:
- Budget amount cannot be blank\\n
- Etatsumme darf nicht leer sein\\n

I think the best solution is to removes tabs, newlines etc. from strings that
need translation.

\\n does not work and is shown behind the translated text as \\n.
