Translation seems to lose non-breaking spaces (U+00A0) after committing. It’s weird, do you have any idea what’s going on?

[Michael Catanzaro]

I just copied the text from Epiphany into gedit, which is how I've been handling translation updates for as long as I remember. What are the non-breaking spaces used for? Hyphenation?

I guess if you really need to save them, feel free to prepare your own patch.

[Piotr Drąg]

I presume Epiphany is not preserving non-breaking spaces when copying text from it, similarly to Firefox, which is why I always try to save plain text files instead.

Polish has a typographic rule that recommends adding non-breaking spaces after the six existing one-letter words (a, i, o, u, w, z) to avoid putting them at the end of a line.

However, cloning webkit is not something I’m looking for, so I’ll just have to live without it.

Thank you for preparing patches and committing. I really appreciate it.

[Michael Catanzaro]

Well I'll try to fix it. Is this only a problem for Polish or could other languages have been affected as well?

I’m pretty sure French uses a non-breaking space before a colon and in quotes. It’s a good guess that there are more languages affected (Arabic seems to use nbsps for something). Probably to a varying degree of importance — in Polish it’s a recommended good practice, others may have hard rules.

Your follow-up commit looks good. Thanks a lot!
