Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Adding items to Autocorrection file

On the issue of autocorrection, I have a different question. I'm trying 
to alter the behaviour of smart single quotes in LO. In Gaelic, single 
quotes are almost never used as punctuation because their main function 
is as word characters e.g.
a' d' t' etc
and because this would land you with 'a'' when using single quotes, this 
is almost never done and people uses double quotes mostly "a'"

Problem arise when automatically turning these into smart quotes. Not 
the double, “” are always fine but turning ' > ’ creates problems 
because this is interpreted by LO (not just LO, most use the default 
"English" settings) as an opening single quote and turns this into a 
right curling quote ‘

Unfortunately, this single quote can occur at the beginning of words too 
e.g.
'gam 'gad 'ga
but when using formatted quotes, this must be a LEFT curling quote i.e.
’gam ’gad
but with the default behaviour, one ends up with
‘gam ‘gad

I guess this is a bit like the 'okina issue in Hawaiian, though I'm not 
sure if this has been fixed in LO.

Does anyone have any ideas how this could be fixed so
- the default smart quote conversion is always to left curling for gd-GB 
(unless the user manually inserts a right curling quote via the 
character chart or ALT+0145)
- this does not end up as a conflict between autocorrect and some system 
setting

Cheers

Michael
