I understend that...

A text with multiples lines can't be used as msgid in PO file when the text lines are combobox items.

Why?

The source generated by glade/gtkbuilder tries to catch the translated text for each combobox item (line) and never found them.

For example, the attached patch fix the problem for pt_BR; translating each combobox item as individual msgid.

Until I could see, this is a problem in ALL gtk applications.

IMHO the best solution whould be glade/gtkbuilder fix this when the UI source is generated. But I do not see how this could be possible with current gtk API[1].

So... what do you think about this? :-)
