Bug Description:
Using NumberFormat.getPercentageInstance() with a french locale will output the percentage and the %, but there is no space between them. Our localization team indicated that, for example, "50%" should be displayed as "50 %" in french locales.


Steps to Reproduce (be specific):

(CODE)

import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.util.Locale;

public class TestLocale {

    public static void main( String argv[] ) {
    
     int numerator = 1;
     int denominator = 2;
    

        Locale english = new Locale( "EN", "US", "" );
        Locale french = new Locale( "FR", "FR", "" );
        NumberFormat englishFormatter = NumberFormat.getPercentInstance(english);
        NumberFormat frenchFormatter = NumberFormat.getPercentInstance(french);

        if (denominator == 0) {
System.out.println(english + ": " + englishFormatter.format(0));
System.out.println(french + ": " + frenchFormatter.format(0));
} else {
System.out.println(english + ": " + englishFormatter.format(numerator/(double)denominator));
System.out.println(french + ": " + frenchFormatter.format(numerator/(double)denominator));
}
        
    }
}

(OUTPUT)
en_US: 50%
fr_FR: 50%
