In 1.5 we have quite a few punctation marks that are hardcoded and
therefore not included in the JText strings.
This creates issues in some languages.
Example:
<label for="username">
<?php echo JText::_( 'User Name' ); ?>:
</label>
String is
USER NAME=Username
This forces for example in French to add an at the end of the
string as ":" has to be separated from the word before.
In some languages, ":" is never used.
etc.
Is it possible to take this remark into account for 1.6?

All we need is a patch to apply and that can be fixed.
Cheers,

JM, I suggest you change the key to:
USER_NAME_LABEL=User Name:
Or, we remove the colons.

Good one JM.
We certainly would want to get rid of those hardcoded colons at for example the user register template, and instead make it optional in the translated string.
Andrews suggestion seems like a good replacement. Strip out the hardcoded colon and add it to the translateable string instead.
You just assigned yourself for some patching ;p

No problem concerning creating a patch, if I find where these are in
1.6 ;)
Will look.
My post was more to ask devs to remember that kind of issues when
coding 1.6.
