Is there a space before a question mark?

In English, there is no space between the last word of a sentence and the question mark.

Thus, you will write:

How are you?

The rules differ from one language to another that’s why translators are constantly careful when translating.  In French or in Portuguese, it is required to add a space between the last word of a question and the question mark.  So, in French you will write:

Comment allez-vous ?

In Portuguese, you can write:

Foi brilhante !

This rule is applied with the exclamation mark as well.
