Mattias, what tool exactly does it wrong?

Already a long time ago I changed all #13 parameters to LineEnding in
Format() calls.
#13 did not work on Linux, the lines were concatenated in message boxes etc.
Apparently the tools still generate #13 as they keep popping up. This
should be fixed, too.
I mostly create the resource strings manually so it does not affect me much.

I have translated the IDE texts myself and I agree that the excess
parameters make it harder.
They are like useless "noise" when trying to deal with the truly
variant parameter data.
