Should be fixed in r60268.

Note that multiline strings seem to be always stored with Unix-style 
linebreaks in MO file, while in form they can have e.g. Windows-style or 
maybe even Mac-style linebreaks. Because of this, these strings should 
be normalized with regards to linebreaks before searching in MO file.


Linebreak at the end of multilined string should be present as per PO 
format examples, most PO editors add it anyway.


Also note, that loading multiline resourcestrings from MO files probably 
won't work in many cases for aforementioned reasons too, because Gettext 
unit does not account for platform-specific lineending changes at all.

That's perhaps because lazarus doesn't use .mo files?

OK, see attached.  Steps to reproduce:

- Build project.

- Run and check hover hint on form, it's in English.

- Edit po/fr.po and remove the "\n" on the last line of the multiline
  hint for both msgid and msgstr.

- Re-create the .mo file:

msgfmt -o locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/multiline.mo po/fr.po

- Run again and the hint will now be in French(*).
