no they don't, in fact you can rewrap them however you like with the
msgattrib tool from the gettext package:
'msgattrib <something>.po' -> wraps at default witdth for gettext tools,
(which is 79 IIRC)
'msgattrib --width=<width> <something>.po' -> wraps at <width>
'msgattrib --nowrap <something>.po' -> the 'long lines' above
