[Plugin: Codestyling Localization] Problem with encoded tab character

Sorry for the delay in replying. No, what I meant wasn’t in the code, but in the editing. For example, let’s say an original string is like this (I’ll type [tab] where a tab character should appear:

[tab]Something something something.

This appears in the CSL translatable string as:

\tSomething something something.

So, I translated it by typing these exact characters:

\tTranslated text translated text.

And save. But CSL, instead of storing the typed ‘\t’ as a tab character, saves it as a slash-followed-by-a-t, meaning internally it becomes this:

\\tTranslated text translated text.

And thus, when WordPress finally displays this string, it appears in the rendered output as:

\tTranslated text translated text.

And not as it should, which would be:

[tab]Translated text translated text.

The workaround then is to translate this:

\tSomething something something.

To this:

Translated text translated text.

What causes the output on, for example, pre-wrapped sections, to become misaligned. Or maybe to this:

        Something something something.

Which, although it’ll appear right, isn’t semantically the same.

I hope this helps!
