Add placeholder for "AUDIO / ZOOM OPTIONS" message

* add support for optional delimiter "\n" to show message on two lines so that it can be translated correctly within a 640x480 pixel window (that is, the minium screen resolution) * only process the first delimiter, ignoring all others that may follow * note that the messages's translation must not begin or end with "\n" (otherwise msgfmt will terminate with a fatal error) Refs ticket:4629 Fixes #345
