Writing " ye" in a post or a page the_content() get "’tis"

Writing " ye" in a post or a page I get "’tis" using the_content(); if I use get_the_content(); I get the correct text (" ye").

I'm using WordPress 4.9.8 and only happens using the Asturian translation

The problem is probably tied to a misunderstanding in the ast translation at ​https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev/ast/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=231191&sort%5Bby%5D=translation_date_added&sort%5Bhow%5D=asc

There are (at least) two very special strings that aren't supposed to be translated, but rather used for localization purposes:

'tain't,'twere,'twas,'tis,'twill,'til,'bout,'nuff,'round,'cause,'em
Context: Comma-separated list of words to texturize in your language

and

’tain’t,’twere,’twas,’tis,’twill,’til,’bout,’nuff,’round,’cause,’em
Context: Comma-separated list of replacement words in your language

WordPress will search for matches against words in the first list and replace them with the corresponding position from the second list. Unfortunately, the first list has been merely translated (and the second list has been left untranslated...

Hi @dangerouspiper, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

As noted above, it's an issue with a particular translation, not with WordPress core.

Per ​https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/?locale=ast, you're a GTE for Asturian. Could you approve @tobifjellner's translation of that string?

Thank you very much, and sorry our mistake 😉
