Description László Németh 2020-05-30 12:06:29 UTC
AutoCorrect settings of several languages prefer apostrophe replacement instead of second level quotation marks » and «, see Writer (or MS Word) and

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#Summary_table

Apostrophe, also second level quotation marks needs for writing, but keyboards and recent AutoCorrect facilities don't support both. A suggested solution to give

1. AutoCorrect character sequences ">>" and "<<" to » and «.

2. and in the case of unique, not alternative second level quotation marks,
context-dependent replacement of ", i.e. checking preceding opening quotes to choose the correct quotation marks. A Hungarian or Romanian example: „Sentence with primary and »second level« quotes.” would be possible to type using only ", while "Single quotes" AutoCorrect is used for typographic apostrophes.

1. AutoCorrect character sequences ">>" and "<<" to » and «.

I want to request the same feature for language Galician (gl_ES).

And for Catalan (ca), Aragonese (an) and Asturian (ast) too by default, please!

In Romanian, the expression written like this: „Sentence with primary and »second level« quotes.” is misspelled. In Romanian the expression is written like this: «Sentence with primary and „second level” quotes.».

(In reply to Dorian B. from comment #10)

@Dorian: As a quick fix, I'll remove the inner quotation recognition for Romanian, keeping only the << and >> replacement for it, but later, if you want, we can use that, too, with the correct order. (By the way, according to this source, French-like angle quotes are for nested quotes in Romanian, too: https://turcanin.wordpress.com/2012/01/25/the-mistery-behind-the-quotation-marks-in-romanian/). Many thanks for your feedback.
