Option for adding a flag to sdlxliff file not to add a space after segment when reverting to source file format

Hi,

sometimes it would be nice if we could tell Trados not to add a space after certain segments when reverting to source file format.

Quite often you get poorly prepared/segmented files from a client and in some target languages you have a concatenation e.g. with hyphens which require no space after the hyphen. When you put the hyphen at the end of the line in finalized file format you would get something like this:

Segment 1

240-Volt-

Segment 2

Leitung

will become

240-Volt- Leitung

instead of

240-Volt-Leitung

Having an option to tell Trados not to add a space as it usually does when merging segments at file finalization would solve this issue as both strings would be reverted to:

240-Volt-Leitung

Best regards,

Pascal
