You figured that part out by yourself :-)

It does subject to the .po translation files being generated from the
source code on demand only.

Nope, it's fixed in the definitive source source.

That's because in the python source the string's split between lines
such that "find that" doesn't match.

That is also the reason of the run-together:

The Python source had

'... find'
'that ...'

which gettext found, recognized as being one single Python type string
continued over a line break, and thus concatenated it for the .po file
into just that - a continuous string: '... findthat ...'.

The Python source *should* have read

'... find\n'
'that ...'

which would have become '...find\nthat', canonically, which would then
have been intelligently rendered by translation software.

Makes sense ?
