Projects that must be translated have the "project is translatable" 
option set in the project configuration dialog (Translate=1 in the 
'.project' file).

If this option is not set, the project must not be translated.

'\n' is perfectly allowed in any string (translatable or translated), so 
it's a problem if your translation program does not support them.

You should use the IDE to translate the Gambas project. If you have 
features in your own translation program that you miss in the IDE 
translation dialog, tell me.

I'm not the author of that component, I can't tell. If a project is not 
marked as translatable, you can ignore it, even if it should.
