            Bug ID: 127152
           Summary: English quotation marks are used instead of French
                    guillemets
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Localization
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: yahoe.001 at gmail.com

Throughout the French LibreOffice UI we can find "English quotation marks".
Instead, « French guillemets » should always be used at the first level,
according to French language typographical rules that read as follow:

* « French guillemets » should always be used at the first level (main
quotation)
* « Within a quotation (using French guillemets), a second quotation will be
surrounded by ‘‘double English quotation marks’’ »
* « Should we have three levels of quotation, French guillemets will first be
used, ‘‘then double English quotation marks, then ‘single English quotation
marks will be used’, if need be’’ ».

A non-breaking space will be used after the opening French guillemets and
before the closing French guilemets.
