[libreoffice-l10n] Re: [libreoffice-l10n] n’t → n't

Hi Jesper, *,

Typographically speaking, ’ *is* the correct character. The use of
so-called straight or typewriter apostrophes (and quotes) in computing is
basically restricting oneself to a limitation that is no longer justified
in Unicode-age. So in my view, the changing should ultimately go the other
way: ' → ’ (or ‘ where needed), and " → “”.

However, I agree that use of ’ vs. ' should be consistent in the UI. This
means that until there is no concensus on or at least majority support for
replacing all typewriter quotes with typographically correct symbols, the
old symbol should be used for the sake of consistency.

Best regards
Mihkel
