652908 - Don't use ’ in the copy

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Websites Graveyard :: markup.mozilla.org, defect, P1)

Description

Attachment: Screenshot

The nice-looking apostrophe ’ isn't extracted well, as it's not one of the basic ASCII chars.

I think it renders the affected strings unlocalizable.

Comment 1

[Fred Wenzel [:wenzel]]

I'll also check if this is an error with string extraction in general. While the point in comment 0 is valid, UTF-8 should be supported.

Comment 2

[Fred Wenzel [:wenzel]]

Django's extraction tools have trouble handling UTF-8. Let's just get rid of these characters and that'll be it.

Comment 3

[Fred Wenzel [:wenzel]]

I removed the culprits.

Staś, mind verifying this one?  Thanks!
