Using non breaking spaces by default is troublesome because all encodings
don't support this glyph, and thus the generated PO may be invalid in some
cases.
Ok, this is indeed troublesome in msgid, but should seldom happen.
Is there a way to keep "\\ " in msgid but convert to non breaking
space in msgstr?
