Use smart quotes for all languages
Hi!
I have been using the browser add-on for English and Portuguese.
While using English, it shows an option to change all quotes in the text.
But, in Portuguese, that doesn't seem to happen.
Could it be extended to all languages?
Thanks!
Wikipedia's "Quotation Marks" > Summary Table is fantastic, showing all:
- open/close
- inner/outer
quotes for all languages + their acceptable alternates.
For example, British English prefers:
- ‘outer’ + “inner”
- single / double
but accepts:
- “outer” + ‘inner’
- double / single
as an alternate, where US English only accepts the 2nd version.
There should probably be a separate settings page where users could select which sets of quotes they prefer.
For example, one "dialogue checking" plugin I use has:
I think a settings page like that would cover nearly all use-cases. :)
So even if you were in English (or Portuguese), you would be able to override the language's default quotes if needed.
Hello, after 5 months still no development.
Take a look at how it works in English GB:
Could this exactly code be used for Portuguese?
It is very “painful” to be fixing quote by quote manually.
Thanks!
