Language switcher: space between native and foreign language name

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client wants to add a space between the native language name and the language name in the current language in the WPML language switcher.
Solution:
We recommend adding custom CSS to create the desired space. You can do this by navigating to WPML → Languages → Language switcher options and inserting the following CSS in the Additional CSS text area:

.wpml-ls-display {
margin-left: 5px;
}

If this solution does not work for you, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

A.S.	Hello, I've got a minor but intractable issue. I'd like the language switcher in my menu to display the foreign language like this: Español (Spanish) So first Native language name, then (Language name in the current language). And the language switcher lets me do that easily. Very good. But the result is this: Español(Spanish) ... The problem is that I would like a space between the two! How do I do this? Thank you in advance for your help.
