Seems some people have a reflex of putting space after dot, so many original strings end in needless space, and same goes for translations. Since needless trailing space almost never causes any visible artifacts, I wouldn't want to swamp problem report with them. Needless leading space, on the other hand, may cause small, glitch-like indenting, and is not nearly as frequent as trailing space, so this I'll include into the check. I must also say that this checking of whitespace is something I was asked to do, but personally feel a bit uneasy about it. It's way too heuristic, and generally depending on combination of project, language, and team. This is unlike earlier checks, which detect hard technical problems. Now, I've nothing against adding further such checks on request when they can be made more worth than trouble overall, but I do suggest teams to also look into standalone tools which they can setup to own needs (such as Translate Toolkit, glad that Friedel mentioned it). -- Chusslove Illich (Часлав Илић)
