[Koha-translate] Translation very difficult if use some tags among text paragraph in html

[Hector Castro]

Hi Koha Developers


I don't know if we can use another style when write down paragraphs; some
html tags among paragraph, for example if we use <code> <abbr>, <strong>,
<acronym> etc., are split in different entries in the po files, and this do
the translation very hard, for example this bug <
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14671>

In the new 3.22 exists another example:

koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/about.tt

lines 262-264

<td>You are missing the <strong><upload_path></strong> entry in your
koha-conf.xml file. Please  add it, pointing to the configured file upload
directory for your Koha instance. Also note that you need to properly set
the <strong>OPACBaseURL</strong> preference for the file upload plugin to
work.</td>

The generated PO file

#: intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/about.tt:255
#: intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/about.tt:262
#, c-format
msgid "You are missing the "
msgstr "Falta la entrada "

#: intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/about.tt:255
#: intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/about.tt:262
#, c-format
msgid "<upload_path>"
msgstr "<upload_path>"

#: intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/about.tt:262
#, c-format
msgid ""
"entry in your koha-conf.xml file. Please add it, pointing to the
configured "
"file upload directory for your Koha instance. Also note that you need to "
"properly set the "
msgstr ""

#: intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/about.tt:264
#, c-format
msgid "OPACBaseURL"
msgstr "OPACBaseURL"

#: intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/about.tt:264
#, c-format
msgid "preference for the file upload plugin to work. "
msgstr ""

Finally this end up in a nonsensical translation

IMHO, If developers can really take into consideration not to use this kind
of paragraphs and -if possible- modify the coding guidelines in wiki page
to reflect this.

Or if there are another option to do life easy for translators?...
