Bug ID: 158174
Summary: EDITING: AutoCorrect locale options should have an
exception for single smart quotes to be substituted
back to apostrophes when in the middle of a word
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.2.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

This is an enhancement request for AutoCorrect.
The AutoCorrect locale options should have an exception for converting back the
curved single quote mark back as an apostrophe mark when inside a composite
word, such as: d’água -> d'água.
The reason is that (at least in the English, French and Portuguese languages)
the apostrophe mark is used to indicate the omission of letters in compound
words (and other use cases, as the English genitive case, marking of plurals
etc.), such as these examples:
* Arraial d'Ajuda
* Caixa d'água
* Copo d'água
* Estrela d'alva
* Galinha d'Angola
* Pau d'arco
* Santa Bárbara d'Oeste
* Vozes d'África
* CD's
* Oakland A's
* VIP's
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe#Non-English_use and
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ap%C3%B3strofo for uses of apostrophe.
