During translation I saw a few strings with leading blanks or blanks at the end of the string. Are they intentional or bugs?

Hi @ralfh!

Yes, they might be intentional. If the Translation Editor warns you that you should leave an empty space at the end of the sentence, for example, do it. I myself don’t think it is ideal to leave empty spaces to translators and I would probably look into ways to refactor those that I find in code but for now, as they were released like that they are intentional.
