Kristoff Henry	Hi, In French, rules are to add a space i.e. before a colon, which is not the case in the original text. So "Sample text:" becomes "Translated sample text :" (space between "text" and ":") In web texts this can be very annoying when the line breaks at that space and the ":" ends up on another line. If French is the original language, this is easily solved by replacing the space by a non-breaking space ( ) But if French is the translated language, adding an in the ATE doesn't work and shows "&nbsp" on the front. How can this be solved?

Hi,
