I don't understand how to reconcile these two paragraphs.
The first paragraph above says use '...'. The second says that

the first paragraph.
The second says that translators will translate the "`" string to an
opening quote and "'" to a closing quote. They will translate "'%s'" to
"<LQ>%s<RQ>" (where LQ and RQ are opening and closing quotes).
Example:
"`" -> "‘"
"'" -> "’"
"'%s'" -> "‘%s’"
The problem is simply that when you're translating a single quote, using
"'" is ambiguous.
