It's not just French, a space should definitely be there. In LaTeX, you 
normally use "\,", which gives the recommended 3/8 unbreakable spacing. 
However, in plain text I would definitely use a full space rather than no 
space.

Does "%1&nbsp;s" make the compiler/scripty/the translators freak out, or is it 
an option? Does &nbsp; work anyway in GUI files?
