New line escaping in values is not correctly converted from the PO syntax into the Message Format 2 syntax.

                It won't be saved when saving the chart.
              

PO description

One should carefully distinguish between end of lines marked as ‘\n’ inside quotes, which are part of the represented string, and end of lines in the PO file itself, outside string quotes, which have no incidence on the represented string.

...external quotes are removed, multi-line strings are concatenated, and backslash escaped sequences are turned into their corresponding characters...
