Bug ID: 154433
Summary: Auto-Replacement gets Ukrainian Quotation Marks wrong
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Localization
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: linus.sturm.git...@hotmail.com
Description:
According to both the German (*) and English (†) Wikipedia articles, the
quotation marks used in the Ukrainian language are like the French one (but
without the space), so like this: «word». But LibreOffice's automatic quotation
mark placement system places English-style quotation marks like “”. This has
actually been asked on AskLibreoffice (‡) about seven years ago, but the user
who solved the problem just explained how to change the default setting for the
replacement, and further states that "it is not possible to set a second (or
even third if needed - according to typographic rules in my country) level of
quotation marks in Autocorrect", although (afaik) LibreOffice replaces " with
the respective primary and ' with the respective secondary quotation marks, so
while tertiary marks aren't possible, secondary ones are.
P.S.: I know that Wikipedia can be wrong, but the AskLibreoffice question
stated the exact same facts, and I also know that the Russian language (which
at least has similarities to Ukrianian) also uses the «» type marks (which are
btw correctly replaced by LO). I also tested the replacement in Word Online, it
seems to have the wrong way of replacing them as well.
