------------------------------+--------------------
 When a user submits a plugin for the plugin directory, the results of
 several automated tests will generate one or more rather long messages to
 the submitting user.

 A wonderful feature is that these messages can be translated. If you
 submit your plugin via a "Rosetta" version of the plugin directory, then
 feedback may be given in the same locale.

 However, translating these long email templates is quite hard. One single
 string may contain quite a lot text. This makes the translation interface
 hard to use and navigate.

 Also, translation contributors end up translating the same text chunks of
 texts several times:
 - Many paragraphs are identical between various email templates, but the
 translation memory only deals with "complete strings" as unit, so it won't
 kick in.
 - The "fuzzy logic" on the translation platform doesn't work well with
 overly long strings. If any single change is made to one of these large
 email templates, the translation needs to be done from scratch.

 But there is a neat solution to this.

 Please refactor the email templates so that each "string" for translation
 is one paragraph each. Where applicable, make sure to use exactly the same
 string every time for better reuse.

 This would mainly need to be done in:
