If one is going to use symbols instead of words in the translation, I don't see why one wouldn't use the *proper* symbols instead of a poor approximation -- mistranslating "«»" as "Doubled <>" isn't going to change the symbols actually used, so if there are any encoding issues at all, might as well expose them /before/ the user selects that option ;) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
