angular-gettext

This is not obvious how to use non-breaking space with Angular and Angular-gettext. They are required in some languages, like in french before each question, exclamation mark, semicolon, thousands separator, or to help with phone number, id, ...

•   in html : converted by Angular into   (so Angular-gettext doesn't match)
•   in js : OK
•   in html : OK
•   in js : converted by Angular into   (and it does not work in alert & confirm box but well... ok :-) )

Solutions :

• never use non-breaking spaces (not cool)
• move all strings containing non-breaking spaces in JS controllers (crappy)
• use Angular attribute ng-bind-html in the html (tricky) (ex: <p ng-bind-html="'Question ?' | translate"></p>)
  (and comments doesn't work with translate-comment nor ng-bind-html-comment, they are removed from the .pot)
• make Angular-gettext do the job (best solution ? PR to do ? ie matching   as )

I’ve been hit by this bug too, and I totally agree with you Cédric. It definitely needs to be fixed within angular-gettext.
