    _______________________________________________________

Details:

For longer bits of text (paragraphs), translators will often wrap/flow the
msgstr in a way that is helpful or meaningful to them (eg. wrapping the
English to 70 columns, then wrapping the translation so that each line
corresponds to the English line.

msgmerge has a few flags to control how it flows text: -i, -w, --no-wrap, et
c.  However, there is no way to tell it to leave indentation and flow alone.
