Bug#355018: gtranslator: destroys plural msgstr structure in po file

[Emil Nowak]

Package: gtranslator
Version: 1.1.6-3
Severity: normal

I had one big file with some plural translations, and they were alredy
translated before I opened it with gtranslator.
I made some spelling correctins (BTW: gtkspell is very useful here, it's the
only working part of this program). After saving this file all plural forms
have been merged into one string

For example I had:
msgid ""
"Some orignal "
"multi-lined text"
msgid_plural ""
"Second part of this text"
msgstr[0] ""
"First translation "
"of this text"
msgstr[1] ""
"Second translation "
"of this text"
msgstr[2] ""
"third translation "
"of this text"

and after opening and saveing this file with gtransaltor. I have one big mess.
It looks like this:
msgid ""
"Some orignal "
"multi-lined text"
"Second part of this text"
msgstr ""
"First translation "
"of this text"
"Second translation "
"of this text"
"third translation "
"of this text"

I knew that gtranslator can destroy files so I made a backup copy. Hughh... I
try to calm down, but now I will have to waste approx ~half hour to fix this
manualy using simple text editor :-/
