Description
Long HTML containing messages are hard to translate. I.e. [pluginname]GuiBase has string with ~14000 chars and most of them are just HTML with style definition. It's a nightmare to translate it.

The only place I could find this is in the plugin builder template .ui file. Are there others?
These strings are for developer use and don't need to be translated for general use.

Most (all?) of the plugins that have some explanatory text in their main dialog have this problem. If one sets the text in a QTextEdit using designer, it seems to put lots of formatting stuff around the text. For an example, see https://svn.qgis.org/trac/browser/trunk/qgis/src/plugins/gps_importer/qgsgpspluginguibase.ui

Do the format have a point? It seems to me that it would be possible to remove much of the formatting, if not all???

Closed as old. Solution has been proposed, no feedback given.
