[Evergreen-general] Strange characters in translated web client menu (3.5.1)

[Bill Erickson]

Hi Linda,

I'm not yet sure what's adding those characters, but it seems to be
happening somewhere in the XMB => poeditor => XTB translation.  In the
meantime, we could remove the characters during the build process.

You can use something like this locally to create an alternate version of
the file with the junk removed:

cd Open-ILS/src/eg2/src/locale
sed -z 's/\n␣\+//g' messages.cs-CZ.xtb > messages.cs-CZ.xtb.tmp
mv messages.cs-CZ.xtb.tmp messages.cs-CZ.xtb

Then re-run the npm command to build the locale.

-b
