 * First of all thanks for developing this plugin! 
   There is a small issue, where
   two of the german translations are missing spaces at the end resulting in something
   like “HalloZuim”:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       #: simple-basic-contact-form.php:454
       msgid "Hello "
       msgstr "Hallo"
   
       #: simple-basic-contact-form.php:455
       msgid "You are being contacted via "
       msgstr "Du wurdest kontaktiert via"
       ```
   
 * That section should be:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       #: simple-basic-contact-form.php:454
       msgid "Hello "
       msgstr "Hallo "
   
       #: simple-basic-contact-form.php:455
       msgid "You are being contacted via "
       msgstr "Du wurdest kontaktiert via "
   
       #: simple-basic-contact-form.php:457 simple-basic-contact-form.php:516
       msgid "Name:     "
       msgstr ""
   
       #: simple-basic-contact-form.php:458 simple-basic-contact-form.php:517
       msgid "Email:    "
       msgstr ""
   
       #: simple-basic-contact-form.php:459 simple-basic-contact-form.php:518
       msgid "Subject:  "
       msgstr "Betreff: "
   
       #: simple-basic-contact-form.php:460 simple-basic-contact-form.php:519
       msgid "Date:     "
       msgstr "Datum:   "
       ```

 * I am experiencing the same issues with the German localization messages that 
   do not contain the required spaces. I would suggest to move the required spaces
   from the messages into the code where the final message is composed or use placeholders.

 * Hi [@zuimde](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zuimde/) [@dumboxp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dumboxp/)
 * Sorry for the wait.
 * Thanks for pointing this out. Would have been better if the blank spaces weren’t
   part of the text string from the start but it’s too late to change that now.
 * We’ll make some changes to the code so it adds those spaces when the translation
   doesn’t have them.
