Also for Italian, and, AFAIK, Spanish. I suspect that most languages do
not use a larger space at the end of a sentence.
By the way, here are some little corrections to do in standard.ld (the
line commented out is the one which actually appears in the file):
# Italian @Yield { Contenuto }
Italian @Yield { Indice }
# Italian @Yield { Elenco delle Figure }
Italian @Yield { Elenco delle figure }
# Italian @Yield { Elenco delle Tabelle }
Italian @Yield { Elenco delle tabelle }
# Italian @Yield { ?? }
Italian @Yield { Abbreviazioni }
# Italian @Yield { Lecture }
Italian @Yield { Conferenza }
# Italian @Yield { @Char ae }
Italian @Yield { @Char ?? }
# Italian @Yield { @Char AE }
Italian @Yield { @Char ?? }
# Italian @Yield { @address@hidden }
Italian @Yield { @ShortHour:@Minute }
