[josm-dev] question about UI strings in plugins

[Karl Guggisberg]

>  I think it has changed, right?
Yes. The rules are much simpler now:

* Always escape single quotes with '', regardless of whether you use tr(), trn(), or trc().
   #4160  <http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/4160>  still claims that double quotes won't work in the french translation but the ticket has
   never been confirmed and it is probably outdated.
