For me, "\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]" is the border case.
the problem is that there's always a dominant language in a document and
i think it's not a good idea to have french punctuation in a french
quotation in an english text even if it's doable
If I get you right, does it mean that if I want to write a bilingual,
say french/english, document, I can't use
\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] and have to deal with
punctuation issues manually for both languages ?
you can use it, the question is, does it make sense to use different
typo in a french quotation in an english text (just as one is not going
to change the indentation then)
Yes it does! The spacing, punctuation, hyphenation and other particularities
associated with a language should be respected, even if there may be one
"dominant" language.
some english <english quote> blabla <french quote> ...
makes most sense to me if here we use the english quotes and not the
french ones in the second case;
hyphenation of course is always following the language
anyhow, it's no big deal to configure things
