I think this is going too far. I don't think there's a need to remove all
trailing nl's if the string is not going to be repeated in other slightly
different ways, because adapting this means making the code a bit
less readable for what I'm seeing.

In some cases, it looks like a good idea where it's worth the extra
effort; the gettext manual recommends plain strings and so on, but if it's
just a trailing new line, I think in most cases it's not worth it.
Translators know how to deal with them.
