Description

Some teams use the no-break space (u+00A0) in their translation, but our pipeline treats them (mostly) like regular spaces (u+0020) and does not generate them during inferencing for the test set or creating drafts.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the pipeline handles U+00A0 during inference for the test set and during draft creation. Compare those paths with regular-space handling and identify where no-break spaces are normalized or omitted. Done means translations containing U+00A0 preserve it and generated test-set outputs and drafts can produce it.
