Compose sequences should be the same regardless of keybloard layout, you probably mean they're not accessible using group-switch key (altGr) directly. (they are indeed not in the crippled plain en-US layout, but are in the international layout) But compose sequences are also available: compose, apostroph, less/greater (or compose, less/greater, apostroph, order usually doesn't matter with compose sequences) i.e. compose, ', > → ’ compose, ', < → ‘ same with the double quotation marks: compose, ", <less/greater> compose, ", > → ” compose, ", < → “ compose, >, > and compose << will give » and « But with a keyboard-layout that actually makes use of the different groups, you can also enter it with <altGr>[+<shift>]+<whateverkey>, shift usually switching between the single or double variants ( ›‹ vs »« and “” vs ‘’ for example) > I'm heavily using several fancy glyphs input add-ons in LO itself, and I > tell you, it's not all fun. >> I agree this will be annoying, because at the very least, the localizers >> will have to re-approve a lot of their old translations when these >> changes land.

In other words: Change the English string to typographic quotes, and take the translations from the non-typographic variant. So translators wouldn't need to retranslate, but also wouldn't see what strings did change. ciao Christian -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: l10n+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
