I think we should not do this. If the developer knows that some string should be stripped, he can do: T(my_string.strip()) Not all strings should be stripped (really, I think in general cases strings must not be stripped). In some cases when I need to translate only one word or expression and I have the same word/expression with other meaning, I use spaces to get this working. -- Álvaro Justen - @turicas http://blog.justen.eng.br/ 21 9898-0141
