chore(translations): preserve NBSP in front of : as well when merging
[no changelog]
What changed, and why it matters
This commit is a minor translation-processing fix. It changes a script that cleans translated text so it keeps a special non-breaking space before colons (':') in addition to question marks and exclamation points. This is purely a localization/punctuation formatting tweak and has no security relevance.
No security action needed. This is a routine localization tooling change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The change updates a regex in core/translations/crowdin.py used during Crowdin translation merging. The regex \u00A0(?![?!:]) now preserves non-breaking spaces (U+00A0) before ‘?’, ‘!’, and ‘:’ when replacing them with regular spaces. Previously only ‘?’ and ‘!’ were preserved. This is a French typographic convention and affects only translation string normalization.
