Ouch, there are lot of strings where tag content ends or begins with
space and any of them can be problematic for translation. That's
because I wrote I'd not suggest to fix them now because it would
create translation overhead for 3.0.
I mean, that not having spaces at beginning or end of tag content
should be a policy for writers.
Some examples:
- Opens the <emph>Macro </emph>dialog
- click the arrow next to the <emph>Insert Controls </emph>icon
- Use the tools on the <emph>Toolbox </emph>of the
(about 30)
- jumps back to the<emph> While </emph>statement
- <emph>Label:</emph> Target line according to<emph> GoTo </emph>or
<emph>GoSub</emph> structure.
(about 20)
- <item type=\"input\">=DDB(75000;1;60;12;2) </item>= 1,721.81 currency units
(etc...)
Of course I cannot remember at moment all possible 'dangerous' tags.
:) These are just examples.
In examples above: 'Something dialog', 'something icon' are often
translated as 'dialog Something', 'icon Something' and then translator
has to remove space not to leave it in end of sentence or before
comma.
