[Localization] etoys.pot format incompatible against the latest Pootle?

[Sayamindu Dasgupta]

Hello
I think I have found what is wrong. I'll try to talk with the Pootle
developers/file a bug and push in the fix in our server instance
within tomorrow.
Just to confirm, this only occurs with messages in the form of

msgid "FOOBAR\\"

Right ?

Thanks for finding this bug,
Cheers,
Sayamindu
