#598: inconsistent apostrophes: important for searching and grouping tagged contents

opened by thuchacz

In trying to make sure that all instances of "esmail d'azur" and "azur d'esmail" were within <fr> tags, I hit a bug.

Some instances of the string had been input (in the Google Docs?) using a flat apostrophe (') and some with a smart (curly) apostrophe (). Searching for one in Oxygen does not render instances of the other. In the end, I changed them all to the smart/curly one, just so I could be sure that I had consistent instances of the French strings in the TCN and TL.

We need a dedicated search to replace one for the other across the TCN and the TL. But which would we prefer to use?

***Also, anyone who has been working on a consistency issue that involves apostrophes should be aware that they may have missed terms in their work.

Thanks Tianna! I don't think any of my search strings involved apostrophes.

For searching purposes, the TC is your friend since it doesn't have them, but I agree we should consistify which apostrophe we use in the TCN.
