Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Please read: minutes of ESC meeting

I guess changes in quotation marks ('→" "→ˮ) inside of text strings 
would fall into category 3)?
Either translators will have localized them («french quoted text») or 
they're fine with what's already there.

One frequent case for category 4): When there's a typographic symbol 
like an ' (apostrophe), which may not be used at all or is used very 
differently in the target language; I don't count anymore all the 
fuzzies I've had because someone corrected "it's" to "its" or vice versa 
(and in my language we don't use these). Of course more serious 
spell-checking in source could possibly alter the conveyed meaning for 
translators, thus it could be justifiable to make things fuzzy in that case.

Just thoughts,
