Comment # 2 on bug 1091185 from Stanislav Brabec

This is not a bug.

But it is a reasonable feature request.

Gettext po files have a variable format, especially wrapping of long lines,
wrapping around "\n" and adding empty string in top of multilines are not
standardized.

Weblate itself does not use gettext, but translation-tools (python gettext
library).

Weblate does not offer formattion options.

msgmerge supports --no-wrap and --width=NUMBER and --escape/--no-escape

It is possible to adjust Makefile to generate files more similar to Weblate.
