Here it is, I'd like to know your advice, before it gets added to the
actual online coding guideline reference.


InstallerApp.cpp contains a mini "how-to" with instructions for adding Haiku to grub, grub2... (see http://dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/src/apps/installer/InstallerApp.cpp?rev=39025#L102 ) its not very handy when you have to translate sush a quite long text in HTA, and not very efficient to maintain since you lose all the work done at any update.

So, I suggest, to split very long texts in smaller paragraphs.

for instance :
   String MyLongText = B_Translate(
       "first paragraph\n"
       "second paragraph\n"
       "third paragraph\n"
   );

could becomes something like :
   String MyLongText = B_Translate( "first paragraph\n" )
       + B_Translate( "second paragraph\n")
       + B_Translate( "third paragraph\n")
   );

Best regards.
