Hi,

According to clarkb and doug-fish's input, "msgfmt --check-format" will 
check
the heading newlines and trailing newlines in the source string and 
translation string. If they
are not same, it will cause a failure in the gate testing of Gerrit.
So we do want Zanata to enable these validations.

The complains from translators are about errors of different line numbers,
for example: "Not enough lines in translation (expected 2, found 1)".
After reading the source pot files, I noticed there were some meaningless 
newlines
in the source pot files. These newlines come from HTML files.
For example: 
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/horizon/tree/openstack_dashboard/locale/django.pot#n3486
So I don't think it's useful to keep the line numbers exactly same.

@ Alex, in the web UI of Zanata, the validation of "leading/trailing 
newline (\n)"
is described as "check for consistent leading and trailing newline (\n)". 
But actually, the validation will also check for the same line numbers of 
source string 
and translation string. Do you agree it is a bug ?
I think we don't need the check of same line numbers.
If you agree it is bug, I will report it.

Best regards
Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)
