Multi-line translation not always possible

[clarkwinkelmann]

The code responsible for switching between text field and textarea only looks at the original translation value in that field's language. This means multiline is not always offered when it should.

This applies to the "All" field in all situations (notice height of text field vs textarea)

This also applies to a locale field if the text has no original value, and therefore no newline in original value (here, French language pack doesn't have any default value)

Linguist should also look at whether the fallback value contains newline.

Since knowing which one is the fallback isn't an easy task, an alternative could be to just look whether any original value exists for that string with a newline in any language.

Experienced on version 0.4.4 on beta 14, most likely also affects all previous versions.

As a workaround it's always possible to edit the database directly.
