Bug Description

Some translatable strings in the Developer Mode page are cut off and only part of the string is exposed in Launchpad for translation.

I believe this is due to how the strings in the code are broken up to fit into a given horizontal column count. E.g. [1]:

    text: i18n.tr("In Developer Mode, anyone can access, " +
                  "change or delete anything on this " +
                  "phone by connecting it to " +
                  "another device.")

This results in only the first line of the string to be extracted and put into the .pot file [2]
