  Hello,

  I’m trying to contribute translations for 4.3.x and I keep getting the “Translation should not end on newline.” error message almost every time I try to suggest a new translation. What does that even mean and how do I fix it? Is it possibly a bug?

  I apologize for my greenness in advance :)

  Please let me know if this actually belongs in the wordpress.org forums.

  Hi agitprep!
  Any questions related to WordPress.org (core software/plugins/themes) should be asked on WordPress.org forums.

  However – to answer your question, you will need to remove or add a new line (blank line) from your translation to match the original, and the warning will disappear.

  Cheers!
