Today three people reported that modifying longer strings including new lines is broken. Whenever you are trying to modify or add any translations all CRs are removed. Example: [https://app.transifex.com/nextcloud/nextcloud/translate/#de/forum/601314777](https://app.transifex.com/nextcloud/nextcloud/translate/#de/forum/601314777) See history of given string. See more damaged strings at: [https://app.transifex.com/nextcloud/nextcloud/translate/#de/$/574097718?q=reviewed%3Ano](https://app.transifex.com/nextcloud/nextcloud/translate/#de/$/574097718?q=reviewed%3Ano) Tested with Firefox on Win 11 and macOS. Confirmed by three translators. Can you confirm? EDIT: It is enough to visit the strings and just to press button “save strings”. ---

Detailed description: we have many simple one line strings. Translating them works like expected ✅ . But we also have multiline strings. They contain multiple lines including line breaks (I call them CR known as “carriage return” in the old days). As soon as you **view** a string containing line breaks the string is marked as edited. After you press the save button all line breaks are removed. Example: String before any modification. See active save button. ![Bildschirmfoto 2025-12-19 um 19.46.43](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/transifex/original/2X/6/642a398f166efb9cb828186c830bf5edd0a1f9fe.png) Result after pressing save. ![Bildschirmfoto 2025-12-19 um 19.46.54](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/transifex/original/2X/6/6e4c18a652ab77c0b401fc774ca0596932897f7e.png) Trouble started yesterday morning. ---

Hello, While reviewing the video we noticed that a deepL addon is active. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/transifex/original/2X/b/bbf37227f9195f4b65879b1be381d83ee7bfcc7e.png) Could you please try to deactivate this addon and see if the issue is still reproducible?

Hello Chrisb, thanks for your message. I disabled my deepl add-on on Firefox, unfortunately it is still an issue. Using Safari v26.0.1 on macOS v15.7.1 makes no trouble. ---

@colvera With the help of a few translators from the community, we were able to narrow down the issue even further. It only occurs with the current version of Firefox, both on Win11 and macOS. It works with other browsers, specifically Edge, Vivaldi and Safari. Cheers, Mark ---

Hi @rakekniven Thank you so much for your update; it was really helpful. After doing some additional testing, our team found that the issue can only be reproduced on Firefox and doesn’t seem to affect any other browsers. For the moment, could you please avoid using Firefox while we continue investigating? We’ve added this to our team’s board and are actively working on this. As soon as we have any updates, we’ll be sure to let you know. Thanks again for your patience and collaboration. Best regards, Carlos Olvera ---
