address@hidden: [Nano-devel] long explanation lines in help screen]

[Jordi Mallach]

I know this is an old request, but it was buried in my huge INBOX.
David, do you know if it's valid still?

> Hi there,

> I have a problem translating some lines, which in ukrainian seems to be
> longer than english equivalent. For example,
> #: global.c:365
> msgid "Uncut from the cutbuffer into the current line"
> msgstr ""
> "bla-bla-bla"
> "and one more string"

> This is the explanation of ^U function which appears on help
> screen. The term 'uncut' in ukrainian seems to contain no less than two
> words, and 'cutbuffer' is another two. The overall size of translation is
> more than 56 symbols (80 - 3*'\t'). Before I did like this:
>
> msgstr ""
> "bla-bla-bla\n"
> "\t\t\tand one more string"
>
> but after some version of nano it isn't work. It shows only first 3 symbols
> from second line.
> If there is no explicit '\n' in first line, the tail of the second will be
> lost.
