 Newline in gettext MO is represented as LF(0x0A), while squeak uses
 CR(0x0D).

 Current implementation reads msgid/msgstr as-is into internal dictionary.
 So "'string including newline' translated" doesn't work and returned
 string is wrong for squeak if it contains newline.
 To make it work all LFs need to be converted to CR when loading MO.

 Test case:

 | o t |
 o := 'View web page as source
 Cancel'.
 t := o translated.
 inspect t.
 self assert: (o ~= t).
