(assing plasma-devel in CC):

I suspect, but please others correct me, this may be related to the handling
of strings in Javascript/QML, as previously discussed here:
https://phabricator.kde.org/D24073  and https://phabricator.kde.org/T11721

If that's the case, the strings should be reformatted accordingly, either as a
long string on a single line, or using the format:

   i18n("foo \
bar \
baz")
