I wanted to exclude German multi-word abbrev. with a non-breaking space from my QA for non-breaking spaces.

After some puzzling, I found the solution.

You have to add this entry to the non-translatables glossary that you use for QA Non-translatables:

You can add other letters to the class [uz] if you need other abbrev. excluded (e.g. ‘i’).

And here is the obligatory demo:

Note that only the third non-breaking space is flagged.

I've added 'i' and 's' to the class. It's now: [isuz]

This covers the most frequent German abbrev. in my technical source documents:
