Additional space after year

muhammedragab

I have edited and translated the Sascha Forester citation style into Arabic, my changes include changing the locator position from the end of the citation to come right after the authors name(s). I didn't have any trouble with the edited version. Now with the translated version an additional space comes after the year, when I add any suffix (I need to add suffixes because I'm putting page numbers there). I can't see any additional space within the suffixes or sort separators. What can I do to remove this additional space?

Can you post your code for the edited and translated versions to gist.github.com and paste a link here?

Okay, I'm not exactly sure what problem you are referring to. When you are referring to adding a "suffix", do you mean using the page field in the Word processor or something else? Can you also show me an example of the output you are getting and the output you want?

(Also, I didn't check it against the standard Arabic locale for CSL styles, but you probably don't need to have the long locale section at the beginning of the style. It should be sufficient to just change the default locale to ar at the top of the style and then translate the hard-coded German words in the style prefixes. If there are any terms for which you want a non-standard Arabic translation, you can add just those to the locale section at the beginning. For comparison, I get identical output for the items I tested when I delete the locale section from your Arabic style.)
