Line Break Convert tool

The Line Break Convert tool normalizes line endings in block text to a chosen style. It first collapses every line ending (\r\n and \r) to \n, then rewrites them to the target style. Use it to make output consistent for a platform that expects a particular convention — for example CRLF on Windows-targeted files.

By default both the source and every target locale are converted.

Rewrite all line endings to CRLF for source and targets.

Normalize only the source

Convert source line endings to LF, leaving targets untouched.

Processing notes

• Operates on translatable blocks only; non-translatable blocks pass through unchanged.

• Target conversion applies to all target locales present, not a single configured locale.
