--- Comment #8 from Jean-Baptiste Faure <jbfaure at libreoffice.org> ---
(In reply to French.l10n from comment #0)
> 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.

What is your reference ? I am not sure if these typographical rules are shared
by each country where French is spoken.

Best regards. JBF
