Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Indeed the software-center help complains about the xml when opening it.
Software-center is translated in Launchpad, so I believe it should be sufficient to remove the space from the translations there. The new translations will then be synced to the package and rolled out at some point. The two strings you mention above corresponds to the following translations: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/software-center/+pots/software-center-doc/nb/49/+translate https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/software-center/+pots/software-center-doc/nb/60/+translate I've removed the spaces from these two. *** Unrelated info: if you want to get started pushing code to Launchpad, please see https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/CreatingAnSSHKeyPair and https://help.launchpad.net/Code/UploadingABranch. I'd also like to mention Ubuntu Norge on Launchpad (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-no). We have an IRC channel as well, #ubuntu-no, so if you have any other questions or just want to say hi feel free to stop by. :) ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Tags added: quantal raring ** Also affects: ubuntu-translations Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Translations Coordinators, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Translations.

Remove the extra spaces and the problem goes away and Norwegians can get their help page in the Software Center. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/raring/software-center/raring/view/head:/po/help/nb.po#L409 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/raring/software-center/raring/view/head:/po/help/nb.po#L498 (Easily fixed, but I am too familiar with the git/GitHub process to figure out how to suggest the corrections directly in Launchpad.) To prevent this from regressing in any other language, I suggest adding a XML sanity test for the generated XML files. Such a sanity check for validity will easily pick up on simple oversights such as this from the translators. The bug is present in Ubuntu 12.10 and in Raring Ringtail (the above URLs point to the latter.) Software Center version 5.4.1.2, at least.
