Hi,

PO editors wrap lines in a number of characters -- usually 80 or less. But
it normally can be disabled.

In POedit you can change this behavior in the "File" menu > "Settings" menu
item > "Advanced" tab. You can unset "Wrap at" to completely disable line
wrapping or use check "Preserve formatting of existing files" for what I
think will not change the rest of the lines (not sure).

Best regards,
Rafael
