Just having the \n in the message is fine. Stuff like this is already
checked for as part of the build process by msgfmt, e.g.:
$ git diff -U0
diff --git a/po/de.po b/po/de.po
index 679f8f4720..b9a7d417ac 100644
--- a/po/de.po
+++ b/po/de.po
@@ -23 +23 @@ msgid "hint: %.*s\n"
-msgstr "Hinweis: %.*s\n"
+msgstr "Hinweis: %.*s"
Errors with:
po/de.po:23: 'msgid' and 'msgstr' entries do not both end with '\n'
And if you change the format specifier:
po/de.po:23: number of format specifications in 'msgid' and
'msgstr' does not match
