Hi,

That's not true or just a part of an issue. ;)

Consider the general po-file from Transifex. Its header contains the  
following line:

"Language-Team: German  
(http://www.transifex.com/projects/p/anaconda/language/de/)\n"

This line transforms into

"Language-Team: German  
(http://www.transifex.com/projects/p/anaconda/language/"
"de/)\n"

when importing to Zanata (80 char barrier).

The transformed file is correct in the Gettext sense, but cannot be  
imported into Zanata back. ;)

So just remove this second line and it's Ok. ;)

"Language-Team: German\n"

You can edit and import the results into Zanata.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Yuri
