It could be set to nil in local variables. There are also other translations that have a single space: TUTORIAL.pl TUTORIAL.ru TUTORIAL.sl TUTORIAL.sv TUTORIAL.th. Perhaps we should add this local variable for them as well. Would you like to do this? It seems strange that the Thai translation has a period and a single space at the end of sentences. There is a special variable `sentence-end-without-period' with docstring telling that a sentence in Thai text ends with double space, but without a period. Probably at the time when the translation was done this variable was not available in Emacs yet. Shouldn't a period and space in the Thai file be replaced by double space? Please do this too if you feel like it.
