Actually, I think if American-style grammar is followed, as it is in the rest of Core, the current placement is correct. See https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/spelling/ for the rules favoring American style.

Just noting that the rest of core doesn't seem to be using the dot inside the quotes anywhere, and some similar instances were already fixed earlier, e.g. in [48770].

The handbook page doesn't say anything about the dot placement, though.

There was also some previous discussion in comment:49:ticket:46901.

Replying to SergeyBiryukov:

There was also some previous discussion in comment:49:ticket:46901.

Per comment:50:ticket:46901, that rule appears to apply only to direct quotes (as in when quoting someone) or citations, not to normal sentences. For example:

“There was a storm last night,” Paul said.

Instead, the following is not a direct quote, nor a citation:

The technical term is ‘lazy loading’.

It occurred to me that with [48811] backported to the 5.5 branch, these strings are now left untranslated on live sites until 5.5.1 is released, which is not ideal.

It's probably not a big deal for string changes in #50887 or #50945, but the About page is far more prominent.

I don't know if there's a way to lock language packs to a particular revision for now, so I guess [48811] should be reverted and only merged back when 5.5.1 is about to be released.

In 48813:

Help/About: Revert [48811] from the 5.5 branch for now, to avoid displaying untranslated strings on the About page.

This should be merged back when 5.5.1 is about to be released.
