Bug Description
Users sometimes get "String not terminated" errors for files that "msgfmt -c" says are perfectly fine. That appears to happen when an MS-DOS-style carriage-
msgid "foo<CR>"<LF>
It seems that msgfmt reads that as:
msgid "foo^M"
But Launchpad reads it as:
msgid "
"
The simplest fix would be to add a note to the error message that warns about this specific case.
