Comment (by jonas.kirilla):

 If we were to take the spaces out of the string ("Install progress:"
 instead of "Install progress:  ") and instead append those two spaces
 after the B_TRANSLATE() lookup this could possibly violate the rules of
 some other language.

 (Compare, for example, how French demands a space -before- the colon,
 which makes it unwise to break out a trailing colon from
 B_TRANSLATE()-strings.)

 Ideally HTA would highlight leading and trailing spaces. (In the source
 string, I guess. And perhaps also warn if they are missing in the
 translated string.)
