Replace quotation marks according to the users locale

The main editor in Composer has a smart character substitution feature which automatically replaces the “dumb” double quotes with smart quotes according to the locale of the user.

Example: "some text inside double quotes"„some text inside double quotes”

Our editors would like this character substitutions to also occur in certain other non-technical free-text fields within Composer and PhotoCenter.
The following fields have been identified as high priority:

  • Metadata > Description Field

  • Image Captions both in Composer and in PhotoCenter (see attached screenshot)

    Hi Thomas! Thanks for submitting this idea for locale based smart quotes in some additional fields. We'll keep it under consideration as we continue to make improvements to Composer!
