Multiple entity codes in POT file for the same character

Description

In the wordpress.pot file, two characters are represented by both their numbered and lettered HTML entities. These are:

Em-dash: the POT file contains both — and —

Right angle quote: the POT file contains both » and »

I'm not sure if it matters but it certainly is a little inconsistent.

Whoops... there are two more such cases I didn't even see:

Ellips: the POT file contains both … and …

Double right angle quote: the POT file contains both › and ›

I'm confident that these four are the only ones.

Inconsistent maybe, but I don't think it matters so much.

+1 for ... => … => …

And also, i think that wordpress strings should not use » (»), « («), › (›), ‹ (‹) becouse of the RTL support.

If we change Log out » => Log out users will still understand the meaning.

Same for ← and →.

We can change "← Back to %s" => "Back to %s" (wp-login.php:127).

  • Version changed from 3.2.1 to 2.5.1

Version number is used to track when the bug was introduced/reported.

June 5, 2008, that would be 2.5.1.

Makes sense to me. Maybe a translation team wants to review the idea.
