When my German Discourse instances send out mails for personal messages, the subject looks like this:

```plaintext
[Discourse] [PN]Topic Title

```

Note that there is no space after `[PN]`. I’d assume this is a translation mishap, but the strings look fine:

So where is this space hiding? 🔎

Looks like it’s from the `subject_pm` string. In english:

```plaintext
  subject_re: "Re: "
  subject_pm: "[PM] "

```

In German:

```plaintext
  subject_re: "Re: "
  subject_pm: "[PN]"

```

Looks like that’s it. Let me say that Transifex’s UI is… suboptimal here:

The additional character there is just the line break, the space is completely hidden in the translation view.

Either way, I fixed it in Transifex. Let’s hope that the space isn’t stripped during the YML export…

Thanks for taking that close look! 🙂
