record() quotes the rejected translation into a PO comment and guarded the known hazard, a trailing backslash, with rstrip. The guard sits too early: babel wraps the finished comment across several # lines afterwards, so a backslash inside the string can land at a break it never saw. In docs/tr the wrap fell inside an escaped \\\\ of the source, gettext read the dangling backslash as a line continuation, swallowed the msgid below it, and msgfmt reported 56451:7 syntax error on an msgstr with no counterpart. docs/zh failed the same way. Removing every backslash instead of the last one makes the hazard impossible wherever the wrap falls, and a newline becomes a space rather than an escape that reintroduces one. A rejection sample quotes what the engine said; it needs no escapes. Reproduced and closed: both catalogs failed msgfmt before and pass after. A sweep over the tree finds no syntax error in any of the 180+ catalogs, though 24 still carry the same dangling backslash where the next line happens to be another comment.

Shared Utilities (utils/)
This directory contains shared Python helpers used by custom modules and plugins.
Purpose
Use utils/ for reusable code that should not be duplicated across:
library/modules,plugins/action/,plugins/filter/,plugins/lookup/.
Typical shared utilities:
- API clients,
- validation/conversion helpers,
- path and configuration helpers,
- cross-plugin/module domain logic.
- Shared HTTP(S) connection handler for multiple modules.
- Common validation or transformation functions for user input.
- Utility functions for interacting with Docker, LDAP, etc.
- Grouped helper packages such as
utils/domains/for related domain logic.
Design Guidelines
- Keep helpers focused and composable.
- Avoid side effects during import.
- Prefer explicit function/class APIs over implicit globals.
- Keep dependencies minimal so modules/plugins stay lightweight.
Example Import
from utils.domains.primary_domain import get_primary_domain
What Does Not Belong Here
- Standalone executable modules (put in
library/). - Ansible plugin entrypoints (put in
plugins/*).
