spaces at the start/end of translation causes problems when switching languages
Current behavior
Switching languages does not work correctly when a translation has spaces at the end of the translation
Expected behavior
Works in all cases
How do you think that we should fix this?
I guess easiest is to trim the text before translation
Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions
<p translate>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore
et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores et ea rebum.
</p>
the problem are the leading and ending spaces. For whatever reason the translate does not work this way, in certain scenarios:
- if I enter directly the url to the site (if I navigate away and come back then it works)
- if I choose the main language in which the key is null in the .json file (in my case DE) it switches to DE but I cannot switch back to EN, the translate somehow does not kick in.
note that it does not happen if there is no space at the beginning and end of the tag, then every scenario above works as it should. I.e. if it is as follows:
<p translate>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore
et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores et ea rebum.</p>
