Description
In French for example, BaseForm.label_suffix should be preceded by a non-breaking space. We could even imagine that some languages use a different character. That's why I think that the default label_suffix should be made translatable.

Yes, indeed, it would be a very nice improvement to Django.
Do you intend to add label_suffix translation to django/conf/locale/fr/formats.py?
PS: I don't care about non-breaking space or half-space :p

Replying to stephaner:

Not my first intention. Have you arguments to favor django/conf/locale/fr/formats.py over django/conf/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/django.po (with translator comments)?
PS: I don't care about non-breaking space or half-space :p
I think there are disputes about this. From what I've read, it is traditionally a standard non-breaking space. Swiss French prefer half-space and other French specialists recommend something in-between :-P

Patch no longer applies cleanly. Also I think it should be documented that this is translatable (ref/forms/api.txt)? Does it need tests?

Generally we don't test the translatability of strings. label_suffix customization is tested in https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/tests/forms_tests/tests/test_forms.py#L1007.

Indeed, most of my projects have <colon> translated in French as <non-breaking space><colon> (or maybe half-space, I'll check with my local translation expert).
