Thanks Casey, and I have a question for you: In the Special section, I see "left quote" and "right quote". I assume that the software that is using these messages laters, knows that a "left quote" appears first in LTR languages, but appears last RTL ones. If it doesn't, either it should be considered in the software, or the "left/right quote" pair should be changed to "starting quote" and "ending quote".
