Both v-t and $t doesn’t support special chars like   and so on. Using $t with v-html works well, but frequently it is needed as a “plain text” (without rendering HTML). By the way another localization plugins (e.g. vue-multilanguage) support this feature.

  is an HTML entity and it isn’t supposed to work outside of v-html. If you want a non-breaking space, use a JavaScript escape code and not an HTML entity. The one for a non-breaking space is \xa0

For most characters just paste the character in the text - all modern tools support Unicode fine. For things like non-breaking spaces the escape codes are useful because otherwise they’re kind of hard to see as they look just like normal spaces most of the time.

If we can avoid to ask translators to add such entities or special characters, I think we all agree that it is better. I’ve just found out that there is a posTranslation constructor option so the following work really well:

postTranslation: (str) => str.replace(' ?', '\xa0?').replace(' !', '\xa0!')
