Bug#533600: gtranslator: msgid ending with backslash causes file corruption

[Peter Krefting]

Package: gtranslator
Version: 1.1.7-4
Severity: normal

How to reproduce:

1. Open the following file in gtranslator:
=== BEGIN test.po ===
# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
# Copyright (C) YEAR ORGANIZATION.
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
# FIRST AUTHOR <EMAIL at ADDRESS>, YEAR.
#
#, fuzzy
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n"
"Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: EMAIL at ADDRESS\n"
"POT-Creation-Date: YEAR-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: YEAR-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE\n"
"Last-Translator: FULL NAME <EMAIL at ADDRESS>\n"
"Language-Team: LANGUAGE <LL at li.org>\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=CHARSET\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"

msgid "/?#[]@!$&'()*+,;:=<>\\"
msgstr ""
=== END ===

2. Press OK to let gtranslator save its signature.
3. Press F11 to copy the msgid string to msgstr.
4. Save and quit.

Expected result: The PO file should contain

   msgid "/?#[]@!$&'()*+,;:=<>\\"
   msgstr "/?#[]@!$&'()*+,;:=<>\\"

Actual result: The PO file contains

   msgid "/?#[]@!$&'()*+,;:=<>\\""
   msgstr "/?#[]@!$&'()*+,;:=<>\\""

which consitutes a syntax error:

   $ msgfmt --statistics --check test.po
   test.po:21: end-of-line within string
   test.po:22: end-of-line within string
   msgfmt: found 2 fatal errors
