Hi Claudius

It's not as wrong as it looks. The strings are interpreted by the tr(...)
function which treats '' as ',
whereas as sinlge ' disappears. Users will see one ' only. Whenever you see
'' in I18n string, keep both in
the translation or I18n will fail.

In short: '' stands for ', not for "

Betreff: [josm-dev] Coders: Please use true quotation marks

I'm currently translating JOSM and stumble every now and then over strings
like

Value ''{0}'' is going to be applied for key ''{1}''

I understand that it's easier not needing to escape quotation marks, but
replacing them with two single quotes is plain wrong. So I'm addressing all
JOSM contributors to please check their strings for correct quotation mark
usage.

Thanks from the translators (and lovers of correct punctuation),

Claudius
