1*357f1050SThomas Veerman# All this catalog "translates" are quotation characters.
2*357f1050SThomas Veerman# The msgids must be ASCII and therefore cannot contain real quotation
3*357f1050SThomas Veerman# characters, only substitutes like grave accent (0x60), apostrophe (0x27)
4*357f1050SThomas Veerman# and double quote (0x22). These substitutes look strange; see

7*357f1050SThomas Veerman# This catalog translates grave accent (0x60) and apostrophe (0x27) to
8*357f1050SThomas Veerman# left single quotation mark (U+2018) and right single quotation mark (U+2019).
9*357f1050SThomas Veerman# It also translates pairs of apostrophe (0x27) to
10*357f1050SThomas Veerman# left single quotation mark (U+2018) and right single quotation mark (U+2019)
11*357f1050SThomas Veerman# and pairs of quotation mark (0x22) to
12*357f1050SThomas Veerman# left double quotation mark (U+201C) and right double quotation mark (U+201D).

14*357f1050SThomas Veerman# When output to an UTF-8 terminal, the quotation characters appear perfectly.
15*357f1050SThomas Veerman# When output to an ISO-8859-1 terminal, the single quotation marks are
16*357f1050SThomas Veerman# transliterated to apostrophes (by iconv in glibc 2.2 or newer) or to
17*357f1050SThomas Veerman# grave/acute accent (by libiconv), and the double quotation marks are
18*357f1050SThomas Veerman# transliterated to 0x22.
19*357f1050SThomas Veerman# When output to an ASCII terminal, the single quotation marks are
20*357f1050SThomas Veerman# transliterated to apostrophes, and the double quotation marks are
21*357f1050SThomas Veerman# transliterated to 0x22.
22*357f1050SThomas Veerman#
23*357f1050SThomas Veerman# This catalog furthermore displays the text between the quotation marks in
24*357f1050SThomas Veerman# bold face, assuming the VT100/XTerm escape sequences.
