Bug Description

When translating, the space and newline characters are represented by a special dot and by the 'enter' sign. Tab is represented by the [tab] string.

Every string which has a [tab] has a warning that it represents a tab character. This is a useful reminder for translators.

Space and return chars, however, has a tiny little warning on the side of the page. This is NOT a useful one. (I translated about 800 strings before I noticed that).

This is a wish bug: put the space and newline warnings below each string that has them. It will help new translators.

This is indeed very true and I've lost count of how many transtations had to be fixed due to this problem... I definitely second this "wish bug"!!!
