Yes, but they're not so commonly used in computers, because of their lack in ASCII, ISO-8859-2 (commonly used in Poland) and keyboards. > Only the upper > double-quotes need special escaping because they have a special meaning > in the apt syntax -- you can write the lower double-quotes in literally. It would be hard to recode them from utf-8 to iso-8859-2. Both ,,abc'' and "abc" forms are common in Debian. > If you don't see what I mean, copy the file I posted into > /usr/share/aptitude and see how the section descriptions look from > inside the program. Oh, now I see, I didn't know there is some magic involved here. And I haven't noticed, that in my version of aptitude-defaults.pl trailing quotes are converted, while leading not, creating funny result. IMO it's better to use version from your mail, as it reassembles quoting style chose by original translator. > Daniel Jarek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
