I see your point now.

However, I also use gettext 0.15.x to remerge. I don't know why this remerge has different linebreaks. (A newer version of gettext is not yet available for Windows, that's also the reason why changing the LyX menu language doesn't work on Windows via the preferences menu. Joost is working on that and I cannot update gettext until he finished this work.)

There's another problem. Even when Jürgen remerges and our translators send us po-files modified with Poedit, Pootle, Virtaal or whatever, we would have linebreak diffs.

What we could do is to save every file we get with one defined program before committing. I propose Poedit because this is available on all platforms. gettext itself doesn't come with a po-file editor and editing po-files without a special editor is a pain.

Thanks. I was using Poedit 1.4.3 and will now upgrade to 1.4.4 hoping that the blank line removal is fixed.

See above.
