[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Translated texts containing ` ` are showed in routing directions without converting the HTML entity to its associated character (Issue #6163)

[ricloy via rails-dev]

ricloy created an issue (openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website#6163)

### URL

https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?locale=et&engine=fossgis_osrm_car&route=43.96236%2C11.30708%3B43.96151%2C11.30427#map=18/43.961907/11.305688

### How to reproduce the issue?

Wherever translated text 
[Osm:Javacript.directions.distance_in_units.m](https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translations&message=Osm%3AJavascripts.directions.distance_in_units.m)
 contains the HTML entity ` `, OSM website literally shows ` ` 
without parsing it.

To see the problem, just switch to Eesti language and then query for directions 
from any point to any point of the map:

 I think that OSM website should convert it to a non-breaking space character 
and show that to the user.

Another possibility, on translators side, could be to directly insert the UTF-8 
encodings of non-breaking chars (U+00A0) into the translated text but they are 
not visually distinguishable from ordinary space chars, hence they might be 
"corrected" by other translators every once in a while.
