Yes, sure. The thing is, when Transifex displays a '⏎' symbol in the
"Source string", it does not mean "insert a '⏎' symbol", but instead
"insert a new line here". So, when you see a '⏎' symbol in the "Source
string", you should translate it into a newline (carriage return).

Yes, sure, I entirely concur in the general case :)
