Sublime 3 multiple replace spaces with underscores

In my html page I have a lot of strings inside tags. like 

<p>Some string 1</p>
<p>Some string 2</p>
<p>Any string 3</p>

I need to put all of them to attribute TRANSLATE, lowercase them and replace all spaces to underscores inside strings.

So I multiselect all of them with holded CTRL, then ctrl+K, ctrl+L make them lowercase, CTRL+x - erase, two left arrows for going inside tags, write translate="PASTE HERE"

Now I have

<p translate="some string 1"></p>
<p translate="some string 2"></p>
<p translate="any string 3"></p>

Next step - I need to make underscores instead of spaces.

To find all translate strings I use regex (?s)translate=".+?" But how to replace? Help.

This is simple but will work and faster than looking for a smarter answer.

Find this: translate="(.*) (.*)"

Replace with this: translate="\1_\2"

Keep using Replace All until all your unwanted spaces are underscores (in the example you gave, twice).

Type ctrl + H and then

Use negative-lookbehind to search spaces which are not preceded by p.

(?<!p)\h+

\h matches only horizontal spaces.

Now replace-all it with _.
