 This is a renewal of #10005, which was apparently my first patch to WP 6
 years ago, but never got accepted. #10005 was closed as fixed, but it
 truth it was not (see my last comment there).

 So, I'm opening a new ticket about this... and updating the description
 and patch from 6 years :)

 Here goes!

 Several strings need to have an indication warning translators against the
 inclusion of HTML entities within their translation, because of where the
 strings are user (RSS feeds, e-mails, JavaScript...).

 Case in point: in French, there should be a non-breaking space ( )
 before any double sign (; : ! ?). So, translators would turn "URL: %s"
 into "Adresse web : %s". But since it is used in e-mails, it is
 displayed as-is. And for strings that are used in feeds, it breaks them...

 Suggestions comment: "Do not add HTML entities ( , etc): used in
 [context]".

 Patch fixes all strings that I could find.

 I do hope it is a simple enough patch, and not too close to RC, that it
 could make it into 4.3.

 Thanks!
