I didn't succeed with "+", but this works:
BString infoText;
infoText << B_TRANSLATE(
"Welcome to the Haiku Installer!\n\n");
infoText << B_TRANSLATE(
"IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE INSTALLING HAIKU\n\n");
infoText << B_TRANSLATE(
"This is alpha-quality software! It means there is a high risk
of "
"losing important data. Make frequent backups! You have been "
"warned.\n\n\n");
If that's OK, I can commit this change.
