I did a little work on identifying long messages.

For those which David already marked with TRANS messages, I used

#!/bin/sh
grep -n --after-context=4 'keep this under one line' *.po | sed 's/./\0 -> /81' | grep ' -> [^"]'

to give an output showing lines more than about 63 chars with a -> inserted
at position 63:

ca.po-1112-msgstr "Instal·lar LILO en el sector d'arrencada de la partició d'arre -> ncada"
ca.po-4811-msgstr "El sistema de fitxers transaccional avançat, ràpid i madur de  -> SGI"
de.po-4918-msgstr "SGIs fortschrittliches, schnelles, ausgereiftes Journaling-Dat -> eisystem"
gl.po-4769-msgstr "Seguinte Xeneración de Ext2, un sistema de ficheiros transacci -> onal"
gl.po-4774-msgstr "Sistema de ficheiros transaccional avanzado, rápido e maduro d -> e SGI"
it.po-1120-msgstr "Installazione di LILO nel settore di avvio della partizione di ->  root."
it.po-4467-msgstr "Una grande partizione dove risiede la maggior parte del softwa -> re."
ja.po-813-msgstr "LILO ¤ò MBR ¤Ë¥¤¥ó¥¹¥È¡¼¥ë¤¹¤ë(¤è¤¯¤ï¤«¤é¤Ê¤¤¤Ê¤é¤³¤ì¤Ë¤·¤Æ¤¯¤À -> ¤µ¤¤)¡£"
pt.po-1252-msgstr "Instalar o LILO na MBR (escolha essa opção se não tiver certez -> a)"
pt.po-4650-msgstr "Dados variávies tais como armazenamento de email e bases de da -> dos."

The numbers are line numbers given by -n.



I also noted that according to

lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2002/debian-boot-200204/msg00375.html

for lines displayed in the main menu, there seems to be a limit of
around 48 characters. At least, the poster noticed problems with 53 or
so, which seemed to be solved around 48.

So I modified the first script to look for main_menu.c messages between lines
156-227 (where the entries are defined):

#!/bin/sh
grep -n --after-context=4 '^\#:.*main_menu.c:1[5-9][0-9]\|^\#:.*main_menu.c:2[0-2][0-9]' ??.po | \
         grep '\"' | sed 's/./\0 -> /67' | grep ' -> [^"]'

and that gave the following possibly troublesome lines:

ca.po-3030-msgstr "Activar una partició d'intercanvi previament ini -> cialitzada"
ca.po-3056-msgstr "Configurar els mòduls dels controladors dels dis -> positius"
de.po-3107-msgstr "Einbinden einer bereits formatierten Swap-Partit -> ion"

es.po-3033-msgstr "Activar una partición de intercambio ya formatea -> da"
fr.po-3155-msgstr "Configurer les modules des pilotes de périphériq -> ues"
gl.po-3000-msgstr "Inicializar e Activar unha Partición de Intercam -> bio"

pt.po-3203-msgstr "Configurar os Módulos dos Controladores de Dispo -> sitivos"
tr.po-3751-msgstr "Daha önce kurulmuþ Takas Bölümünü Aktif hale get -> ir"
