echo -n 'CgASAnJ1GgA=' | base64 -d | protoc --decode_raw

1: ""
2: "ru"
3: ""

printf 'language:\"ru\"' | protoc --encode="language" language.proto | base64
printf 'one:\"\"\nlanguage:\"ru\"' | protoc --encode="language" language.proto | base64

EgJydQ==
EgJydQ==

echo -n 'EgJydQ==' | base64 -d | protoc --decode_raw

2: "ru"

While Google proceed as wanted when provide CgASAnJ1GgA=, it does not when provide EgJydQ==.

protoc encode empty string does not return interesting results on DuckDuckGo and Google.

blackboxprotobuf does not have this issue.

blackboxprotobuf seems to use {} instead of "", should try with that but should first reconstruct my unintentional deleted language.proto.
