Translate
Have had a couple of translators ask why at times they have sentences that have a space between last word and the period: Hi, my name is David .
Is there settings somewhere that can make certain that this extra space does not happen?

You can run the QA and check wrong spaces before some characters:
Add a period to the list and then press F8 key or click on the Verify button.
This happens quite often, when DeepL is used. The solution given by Jesús Prieto will find such errors in QA.

Thank you. I was wondering if that would actually solve the issue or not. Appreciate the confirmation.

You can remove them in one go using a regex:
Find what: \s\.
Replace with: .

Thank you for this additional option.
REGEX type will work for some of my translators and some I would be worried what they might end up doing.
Regex works properly, but one has to do a check afterwards for possibly missing tahs.
And use this for search \s\.$ with replacement by a dot . – this will only change periods at sentence end.
I tried \s\.$ in the first place but to no avail. Weirdly it won't capture all the instances. Only 1 out of 3 (it jumps to the third one).
