This one's just a silly restriction in blocktrans. We'll fix it one day.

Are you sure you haven't inadvertently introduced newlines into the
strings here? Can show us what the corresponding lines in the PO file
look like (include the comments before the msgid bit as well).
I'm assuming by "not working" you mean the string is being displayed in
English rather than, say, German. You're not saying the string doesn't
display at all, right?
My bet is that the last problems are human error, but I'd like to
understand them to see if we can bullet-proof this a bit more.
