New issue 25771 by [email protected]: Quotes should be smart and curly
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=25771

Some of our strings have straight quotes in them.  These are ugly to me.
Mac UI strings are supposed to use curly quotes.

Here's an example of a dialog that we have that uses quotes:

The options are to fix our strings up where we define them, which is nice
but it might not be right for all platforms.  (Can we use curly quotes on
Windows and GTK?  Should we?)  The other option is to fix up the strings
when we load them, which is a per-platform job.  We already map ... (three
periods) to … (ellipsis) on the Mac.

How do we want to do this?  Do we want to change all of the straight
quotes to curlies in the strings files (after they're unfrozen) and make
things prettier on all platforms, or do we want to try to do this
programmatically?
