Allow translators to change the curly quotes

[nbachiyski]

Currently: all quotes in posts are replaced by the curly quotes used in the English language: “ and ”

Problem: some languages use different curly quotes.

This fixes it in wptexturize() but not in the admin. There are about 90 places with hard-coded curly quotes in there. Perhaps we have to make $opening_quote and $closing_quote global vars and make sure they are changed as soon as the translation functions are available (there are probably places where curly quotes are used very early).

(In [11504]) Allow translators to change the curly quotes in wptexturize(), props nbachiyski fixes #10001

Thanks for this!

Replying to azaozz:

I thought this was not an issue with admin strings, since their typography was entirely up to translators. For example, I just use the appropriate quotations marks for the language:

#: wp-admin/includes/image.php:150
#, php-format
msgid "File “%s” is not an image."
msgstr "Το αρχείο «%s»  δεν είναι εικόνα."

... and I’m done.

Isn’t that so?
