In Vietnamese, it is: we need a space after the characters o, ơ, ô, u and ư, so the punctuation doesn't distract from the diacritics which distinguish meaning in our language, especially the hook on the RHS. It's not too easy to disinguish:
msgstr "Đỏ:" from msgstr "Đở:" at a normal reading speed and fontsize.

Agreed. :)

Sorry, missed that one. Fixed in the attached file. (The space was still hanging around in my space bar, lazy character that it is

I shouldn't miss any of them. :(I've just reviewed my translation, adjusting some of the vocabulary to match the changed usage (our technical vocabulary is even more in flux than most). I found a few more missing spaces and one or two embarrassing typos. ;) All fixed.
I note that there is some inconsistency in style among the original strings, for example, there are some strings still using final ellipsis: e.g.
po:500 Original: ⌘0 Unmounting CD-ROM...for present-activity statements. I was under the impression that HIGs now reserve that structure for menu items with children. I have certainly seen that structure disappearing progressively from PO files.
Only some strings of this kind have the final ellipsis: most don't.Thanks for catching the missing space: I should have reviewed this file some time ago. :)
