That's perhaps because lazarus doesn't use .mo files?

OK, see attached.  Steps to reproduce:

- Build project.

- Run and check hover hint on form, it's in English.

- Edit po/fr.po and remove the "\n" on the last line of the multiline
  hint for both msgid and msgstr.

- Re-create the .mo file:

msgfmt -o locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/multiline.mo po/fr.po

- Run again and the hint will now be in French(*).
