Passolo 2011 - Java properties files - how to save a string containing one space character?

Question

Hi, 
 I've got a question regarding spaces in Java property files. I am translating a Jar file containing a number of Java properties files. One of the properties files has a key called "numberFormatSep" which is a character representing the thousands separator for number formats. Some languages, e.g. Czech, require a space character. When I try and enter a single space character in the target string field, Passolo removes it, leaving an empty string. Is there a trick to getting Passolo to accept this character? Best regards, Mark
