Reproducibility: Always

Summary: There are a few string which misses some spaces between words in the German translation (possibly some other languages too)

Description: There are some strings with added spaces between each letter and 2 spaces between whole words. In the German translation the second space between words is missing.

At least these three strings are affected

EnglishGerman translation
W.A.V.E..I.N.C.O.M.I.N.GW.E.L.L.E.K.O.M.M.T
W.A.V.E..C.O.M.P.L.E.T.EW.E.L.L.E.B.E.S.I.E.G.T
N.E.X.T..R.O.U.N.DN.Ä.C.H.S.T.E.R.U.N.D.E
(Dots symbolize spaces)

As you can see the string wave incoming is translated to Wellekommt

Or if you would transfer the error to the English string then wave incoming would look like waveincoming

It should be look like this:

EnglishGerman translation
W.A.V.E..I.N.C.O.M.I.N.GW.E.L.L.E..K.O.M.M.T
W.A.V.E..C.O.M.P.L.E.T.EW.E.L.L.E..B.E.S.I.E.G.T
N.E.X.T..R.O.U.N.DN.Ä.C.H.S.T.E..R.U.N.D.E
So wave inocming sould be translated into Welle kommt

It's possible that there are more languages affected by this!


Apart from that I personally would translate the first two strings a bit differently:

wave incoming -> Welle rückt an

wave complete -> Welle beendet

But that are just some personal preferences ;)

Online/Offline: Both
