Bug Description
"--blah description of blah\n more description of blah\n" occurs in the msgids of lots of programs. (Click "Edit Description/Tags" to see what I intended the string to look like).
Rosetta currently sends the spaces in the first line of these strings as spaces.
Web browsers merge consecutive spaces.
The user of Rosetta does not know that vertical alignment is expected in the translated string.
Rosetta should send a different string that will be displayed by the browser, maybe the "•" used for spaces at the beginning or end of a line, or " ".
Using a monospaced font may also be useful for these strings.

Hi Malcolm, could you confirm if this is a dupe of bug 2627. Although 2627 mentions only bug comments, the fix for it would likely apply to everywhere in launchpad, including Rosetta.
