As a generalisation it is error and warning messages that get the
double-quotes stripped as they pass through Java's MessageFormat class,
but some others do as well.  It's a pain, I'll see if I can think of a
solution. It might also help a little if the CTI tool gave the labels as well as the text. You can see the current versions of the master and translated files in the Auth repo - see http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/website/oso/auth/AuthWebapp/src/configuration/

Is it normal that all non-ASCII chars are escaped? The Greek and Chinese texts, for example, are not legible at all, full of \u03CC\u03C2. In my memories of working with them, .properties are UTF-8 ancoded, wouldn't it be easier to keep then as such?

BTW, quotes do break OpenGrok syntax colouring, but I gather that's an OpenGrok bug:
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/website/oso/auth/AuthWebapp/src/configuration/StripesResources_fr.properties

We've only done so where there is a link that forms part of a sentence - different languages will put it in different positions, so it has to be part of the text.

I see, but in some cases, it's enveloping tag, like the stripes.errors.* properties at the beginning of the document. Those seems awkward in a .properties.

We need to give an updated 'master' file to the CTI folks, so the new strings haven't yet appeared in the CTI tool yet.

Ok, I hope they'll be easy to spot.

We can delete accounts, but we've had cases where people have closed their account by accident and then subsequently wanted it reopened. The plan is therefore to allow people to inactivate their accounts, then delete them entirely after a set period. The only data we retain on deletion is the username, so we can stop people re-registering as a deleted account and masquerading as the 'deleted' person. Of course we can also delete accounts immediately if people really want that, and understand that they'd have to re-register under a new username if they wanted to rejoin.

That makes perfect sense to me. It could be spelled out explicitly, something like "Account can be manually deleted after one week of being deactivated, and will be automatically deleted after 6 months of being deactivated".

And add in more email hoops to jump through, to avoid repeated slips of the finger :-)
