	This second form (with <cr> at the end of a line) is much easier
	for translations and the correction of the first translations:
	we can better see, phrase by phrase, the two versions (english and
	translation). It helps (visual) synchronization.

	So, if it has no impact on the final formatting, I prefer the
	last form.
