Thread: Leading and Trailing spaces

Hello,
Do you know what the error "Leading and Trailing spaces" means when you run a QA in Memsource?

Indeed, it represents space(s) at the begining or at the end of a segment. If you are familiar with Memsource, this QA takes this into account.

I was wondering if "Leading and Trailing spaces" also carries infirmation about the amount of spaces in the source and target colums and compare them...

Thank you!
I think that it doesn't compare just the amount of spaces, but makes sure to keep it. That's why I have been confused by those errors.

I think it does. Sometime I double checked the segment making sure that there are not orphan space(s) at the beginning or end but yet the QA says that it has the leading and trailing space error.
