Description Adolfo Jayme Barrientos 2020-09-30 02:57:59 UTC
Replace characters like “:” for ratios with U+2236 (∶), x’s for real multiplication signs (×), hyphens for minus signs (−), and substitute straight apostrophes and quotation marks with “ and ”, per https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Guidelines/UIWriting#Typography

It’d be awesome to have checks in place to avoid reintroducing ASCII in translatable strings, like Mozilla has.
