Now we have some cases with two fields, and some with three, making this harder to machine parse. Better would be: % virsh nodecpustats --percent usage: 2.0% user: 1.0% system: 1.0% idle: 98.0% iowait: 0.0% > vshPrint(ctl, "%-15s %5.1lf%%\n", > - _("usage:"), usage); > + _("usage :"), usage); By _always_ sticking the : directly by the text, translators don't have to realize that the whitespace in the string being translated was intended to be significant for alignment purposes (that is, alignment should always be done independently of translations, whereas your solution was only aligned for English). Also, it better matches the behavior of 'virsh dominfo', which also has aligned fields but does not line up the colons.
