🐛 [firestore-translate-text] Broken formatting when using Gemini

[JanKubicek]

Configuration

• Extension name: firestore-translate-text
• Extension version: 0.1.25
• Configuration values:
  • Translation Provider: Gemini

Describe the problem

When using the extension to translate text, the original formatting is not preserved. Specifically, line breaks (newlines) are removed or collapsed into a single paragraph after translation.

common.ts:120 contains this code:

const sanitizedText = text
.replace(/\/g, "\\")
.replace(/"/g, '\"')
.replace(/\n/g, " ");

which probably causes this issue.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select or input text containing multiple lines / paragraphs
2. Use the extension to translate the text
3. Observe the translated output

Expected result

The translated text should preserve the original formatting.

Actual result

All line breaks are removed, and the translated text is returned as a single block of text.
