msgfmt enforces certain rules on translated strings. These include
checks on the presence of certain escape sequences to ensure that the
translated text appears roughly the same on screen as the original does.
The error is basically because the original string ends with a new line
and the translation does not, or vice versa. It's a gettext error
because the effect of this is to remove a line break the original author
put in, or to add one they didn't.
It's a relatively recent addition to gettext, so I'm assuming that
Christian's tools don't yet produce this error.
