Comment(by xavi):

 Good point... help & documentation in the source is not a good match.

 Multilines should not be an issue and Pootle handles them transparently as
 far as I've seen. A possible alternative could be to use
 [http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/poswap?DokuWiki=274c17539f389475b9bd4bdb8807766e
 poswap] to swap the msgid used in the po files, but this would imply
 swapping them back, I have never done this, but the flow could be
 something like:
 1) extract the token based POT (Calculate-token.pot)
 2) generate/fill the documentation strings (Calculate-token.en.po)
 3) use the Calculate-token.en.po as the 'intermediate language' for poswap
 to generate the other languages (or feed that as the POT for Pootle)
 4) before 'building' you have to reverse the swap of each xx.po generated
 by Pootle
 This way you avoid having the help & documentation strings in the source,
 at the expense of more shuffling around.
