How do I keep text formatting when using Google Translate?

Hi,

I am new to using Google Translate and I have found that it strips breaks <br /> when text is translated. Is there a way I can stop this from happening so that the text can retain its original formatting.

Example:

no, I see lot of people complaining about that and there's no solution as there's no such setting to apply :

I wonder if anything can be applied at an API level or if anyone has any hacks that work including supplementing <br /> for <p> etc ...

Thanks for your input though it is much appreciated.

Good suggestion, seems to work and diverts the problem to being a data issue rather than a programming issue which I like :)
Thanks for your help
