What I was trying to say is that in this case, that the two strings are
both part of a full paragraph, and it's better to have them in a single
msgid if possible. Splitting them can cause its own problems for some
languages, if the translated text is just slightly longer than the original.

Didn't intend to sound as a punishment ;)
Getting a bit offtopic, but I think Enter is one key, Return is another,
so Retorno would be the translation for Return.
Good luck with your exams!
