I don't know. Anyway it produces garbage for what the string is used for so the patch still applies. I will resend the patch with a description that reflects that.

BTW, is there an editor that shows them ? gvim doesn't. I see them as normal space in vim but searching for a normal space doesn't highlight them. You can use the "highlight" and "match" command to show them in a different color.

With another version of gvim I have several charaters. That's not very practical. What a pity there is no explicit way to write it such as , or \00C2\00A0 but hey. Never heard of this rule for french or never paid attention but I'm fine with it if this is so. This string exists in native devenum and thus is subject to translation so I just have to find why regedit displays it badly when editing the registry. Wine traces functions also but I would it is more normal. Christian

Actually there should sometimes also be thin non-breakable spaces in po, but those are very badly supported, so are not used here. Some links for your info: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espace_typographique http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espace_insécable (and other wikipedia pages) provide some information

I think regedit uses the ANSI codepage for the registry, while the translations are in UTF-8. I experienced this when importing .reg-files in UTF-8 with special characters in them. The umlauts in the German translation of regedit's GUI however, are displayed correctly. Is your nbsp part of the GUI or a registry-key? I would guess the second.

Yes it's a registry-key. It's a prefix string in resource (which is thus subject to translation). I checked what I did and finally it seems to be displayed correctly in regedit. I think I confused myself. However in trace I get "DirectSound\00a0: default". The "A0" is there but nothing of "C2". Strange. Christian

Thanks for the info. Finally regedit displays it well as I mention in another post. Christian

Emacs does.
Non-breakable space are only present in french translations. Between a name and a ':'. Also after/before '«' and '»", as well as before "double" punctuation (;:?!).

It shouldn't be removed just because someone's editor doesn't show them. The said editor should be fixed instead, and not ignoring the typography rule. Frédéric

I knew the rules for "!" and "?" but not for the others. The editor was not in cause. I just didn't know rule for ":" and was more used to them without space. I try emacs and indeed it shows a colored underscore. I will try configuring gvim. Christian

Use a sane editor. Non-break space were explicitly added, as required by French typography. Frédéric
