BTW, just a quick comment that this doesn't catch mistakes where the 
translator translated the entire Q_ string rather than translating just 
the stuff after the "|".  Orca's ar.po file, for example, appears to 
have several cases of this.  The second "sed" at 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=569118#c17 fixes those.

Note that the scripts are also making an assumption that the "|" 
character only shows up in strings for the purposes of the Q_ form.  So, 
 if someone has put the "|" character in something other than the Q_ 
form, the scripts will catch those and split them.  As a result, one 
should carefully examine the files to make sure the expected changes 
have been made.
