[Bug 1538948] [NEW] Leading/trailing space character in translatable strings / missing placeholders

 

Public bug reported:

We found a lot of space characters in the translatable strings, and we
are wondering which ones are being concatenated with something else.
Please note that hard coded string concatenation will create grammar
errors in languages that do not have the same word order as English.

For example, " does not exist" should read "%s does not exist".

Here's the list:
