Bug Description
The problems once solved in bug #514401 haunt us again in other files. There are several job descriptions which have line breaks incorrectly extracted by intltool, and others contain line break markers (\) which have no effect aside from appearing in the English UI and confusing translators.
For example:
https:/
These will never show up translated, because they don't match the strings in the original files.
The reason is explained here: https:/
According to the specification, you can have a line break if you start the line with two spaces and you will have a continuous paragraph if you start the line with one space. In order to have correctly extracted translatable strings, lines intended to preserve line breaks should be changed to start with two spaces.
This also means that backslashes at line ends have no effect so those should be removed.

Gabor,
Thanks for the patch! I need to wait for Checkbox revision 0.13 to be released in Precise before merging in more stuff to trunk, but it shouldn't be long. I'll update the bug's status once that's done.
