Hello,

It is so fine that there are no errors in current Korean po files.

I think for Korean we need to keep the current translation status now
and we will remove meaningless newlines for the future.

Thank you so much Akihiro, Andreas, Douglas, and Zanata team members for 
discussing this issue.


With many thanks,

/Ian
