Bug Description
When users have no content in a directory, the message variable give a paragraph description explaining how to add content. The translation effort converted these message variable to use multi-line strings.
Unfortunately, these multi-line strings inserted random new lines into the paragraph so now they look funny when displayed (read: they start on new lines at seemingly random intervals).

The multi-line strings are there to conform to the pylint tests.
There are at least two ways to get round this (discussed on irc):
1. Create an exception for the strings so we can put them on one line
2. Do _("LONGMESSAGE001") and then keep a reference list of the LONGMESSAGEs for translators
I would prefer no 1
