[Jango <j.4@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

I now fixed it the way, that double tabs are converted in linebreaks and
one tab. This is at one hand an easy fix, because you do not need any
other scripts and there is also no change needed on converting *.po back
to *.xml. The newly translated language xml looks completely the same,
as the original English one.

One small thing of course: We should not use double tabs to sort the
xml-tags, otherwise it not converted properly. Double tabs inside tags
don't matter - they just change the formatting of the xml file (one line
break more). But I noted this in an comment anyways. Just see the
strings.xml file in the branch to see what i mean:

lp:~j-4/tomdroid/launchpad-translations


Best,
Stefan
