As said in the revert if currently there is no other way of making translations of long sentences work in QML while respecting the line chars limit this needs to go in of course.

I would like to see this resolved long-term such that:

• Translations work of course.
• Code always respects the 100 chars limit. If we do exceptions for translated strings because of technical problems this will dilute the rule and likely lead to code not respecting it at all.

Could something like this work:

i18n(Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit,\
     sed eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.)

Or should/could we make the one with + work? Who wrote the original QML translation capabilities and could he/she give some input on this issue? Would be nice to see a path forward before doing the re-revert.

As mentioned on IRC, +1 to this patch. If this violates a coding style, we can discuss it in the mailing-list/IRC later and either

• come up with solution to this affecting translations
• come up with exception

and make change accordingly, but let's try to not block a release on this. I am not marking this as accepted, but would be preferred to get this accepted.
