Shouldn't it be replaced by   instead of a dumb space, to keep the space
unbreakable and still be compatible with the xml format of the file ?
Typographically speaking, the space before a colon is supposed to be unbreakable
in French.

The space introduced in "The fix" is still unbreakable. It is an UTF-8 encoded
non-breakable space (U+00A0 / char 0160). 

What was wrong is that it was escaped like it should be in properties files
instead of being plain UTF-8, which the right encoding for XML.

My bad, the default encoding was UTF-8 while viewing the patch, did not see it
was not a regular space. Sorry for the waste of time.
