Use Unicode in translatable strings

Attached patch converts ASCII characters to Unicode, as recommended by <https://developer.gnome.org/hig/stable/typography.html>.

I’ve always been a little reluctant to use non-Ascii chars in technical places, as that sometimes caused/causes unattended things, but let’s try that now that I switched to use modern Gettext: at least, I’m quite sure I’ve broken something somewhere, so I’ll check and re-check until all is working everywhere.

I’ve a little edited your patch to use single quotes instead of double for codes (‘b’ for “booleans”), an usual and cleaner way to render that (italic technically is not an option there).

Patch commited as 4912c63c[1]. Many thanks for all your work around translations, and happy new year. :·)

I committed some minor fixes to the gettext conversion. Other than that, it looks great. Thanks!

Just a tip for the future: there is no need to update .po files. Translators will take care of that step. :)
