Use typographical ellipses (5.81 KB, patch)
2013-08-30 03:27 UTC, Seán de Búrca 		committed Details | Review

Description Seán de Búrca 2013-08-30 03:26:30 UTC 
Currently, the interface uses a mix of ... and … (non-typographical and typographical ellipses). In some cases, this creates duplicate strings for translators to translate. As GNOME appears to be moving toward typographical punctuation, the typographical ellipsis should be used consistently throughout empathy.

Use typographical ellipses

I've tried to track down all instances of non-typographical ellipses in translatable strings. Please let me know if there are any I've missed.

Merged to master; thanks for the patch!
