Machine Translation Not Preserving White Space

  I am using the Microsoft API to translate some text from English to Spanish.  In the source text, I have a tag as follows:

  <br id="0">Example <br id="1">

  There is a blank space after the text and before the second tag. When I look at the translated text that comes back, I see that the blank space after the text has been removed, as follows:

  <br id="0">Ejemplo<br id="1">

  Is there a reason that the blank space was removed?  Is there a way to preserve the blank spaces?

  This is the API that I am using:

  <TranslateArrayRequest><AppId/><From>EN</From><Texts><string xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays">

   

  Is there a different API that I should try.  I have multiple sentences that I need translated, so I do not want to make a separate call per sentence.

  Thanks,
