I have asked this question at Programmers.StackExchange and received two 
answers which contradict each other:

My question:

When using gettext or a similar framework, should the translation strings 
include ':' (like "Label:") for generating labels for UI or should I add ':' 
in UI code itself?

Please discuss arguments for both using or not using colons in i18n strings.
