1 | # All this catalog "translates" are quotation characters. |
2 | # The msgids must be ASCII and therefore cannot contain real quotation | |
3 | # characters, only substitutes like grave accent (0x60), apostrophe (0x27) | |
4 | # and double quote (0x22). These substitutes look strange; see | |
5 | # http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/quotes.html | |

7 | # This catalog translates grave accent (0x60) and apostrophe (0x27) to | |
8 | # left single quotation mark (U+2018) and right single quotation mark (U+2019). | |
9 | # It also translates pairs of apostrophe (0x27) to | |
10 | # left single quotation mark (U+2018) and right single quotation mark (U+2019) | |
11 | # and pairs of quotation mark (0x22) to | |
12 | # left double quotation mark (U+201C) and right double quotation mark (U+201D). | |
13 | # | |
14 | # When output to an UTF-8 terminal, the quotation characters appear perfectly. | |
15 | # When output to an ISO-8859-1 terminal, the single quotation marks are | |
16 | # transliterated to apostrophes (by iconv in glibc 2.2 or newer) or to | |
17 | # grave/acute accent (by libiconv), and the double quotation marks are | |
18 | # transliterated to 0x22. | |
19 | # When output to an ASCII terminal, the single quotation marks are | |
20 | # transliterated to apostrophes, and the double quotation marks are | |
21 | # transliterated to 0x22. | |
