Let's see how many votes you get..  if it sees a lot then this is probably something the product manager team can consider.

Thank you Paul. Don't you think that it would be simple to have the rule as a standard in Studio. I am sure that I am not the only one having this issue + not being very good with Regex rules. Wishing you a nice day, Manuella

Thank you very much Jerzy. This regex works perfect.

Or... just search for any space apart from the non-breaking space:

\w[^\S\u00A0][!;:]

If you create your QA check to look for that in the target, or even the display filter, it'll find every instance where you have spaces before your French punctuation marks that are not non-breaking spaces.

Use the regex part of the QA checker. The regex would be:

nothing in source

\w(?:\u0020|\u202F|\u200A)?[!;:]

check if target matches

Put your French punctuation marks inside the square brackets.
