Spacing between number and % sign.

English to Swedish Marketing General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Is it always necessary to place a space between a number and % sign even when such number (5 %) is not in a sentence form? Can you write 5% alone in a chart not in a sentence form without the space in between or is it always necessary when putting a number and % together when written for Swedish speakers? *PLEASE RESPOND IN ENGLISH*

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Mårten Sandberg

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

According to the official Swedish writing guidelines (Svenska skrivregler av svenska Språknämnden, regel 293) there always has to be space between number and % sign.
