    Guido,

    Does this look right to you? Should that be a ’b’ (or something else)?

    Verstöße

    It may have happened when I did the conversion to UTF-8 (which Shaun tells me is the standard for accented non-english language files).

    I can fix it easily if you’ll tell me what it should be.

    Otherwise, the files look great.

      Goog Morning!

      That "ß" is a german character, quite similar to "ss" and one may substiture the "ß" by the "ss" if there is no other way. But to handle it correct, it should be "ß". "Verstöße" means "Violations".

      But one more thing - should’n we substitute all " by ’ - for performance reasons? I guess it speeds up the interpreter as there is no attempt to parse anything within the ’.

        Good to know. Then the file is fine.

        The difference between ’ and " is pretty trivial for language files which are fairly short and are cached once they’re loaded. I do try to use ’ as a rule, but many of the language strings have ’ in them in contractions in English. The SPForm language files were written so long ago that I hadn’t started using ’ as a rule. If I have time, I’ll change them where possible.

        Never mind. I changed them all. It was a good opportunity for a regex replace (though it messes up on pairs of single quotes - "this has a ’quote’ inside it").

        "([^’]*)"
        ’$1’
