Bug - Arabic text - opening and closing quotation marks are the wrong way round #352

Open SophieAmnesty opened 3 months ago

Describe the bug
I'm told by an Arabic translator that on our Arabic language site on amnesty.org, the quotation marks face the wrong direction.

At the beginning of a quote, they appear as 66, which in Arabic would be a closing quotation mark. And similarly at the end of a quote they appear as 99, which in Arabic would be an opening quotation mark.

e.g.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to a news post and search "
  2. See the quotation marks facing the wrong way.

Expected behaviour
The quote should start with opening quotation marks and end with closing quotation marks.

Actual behaviour
They are switched.

Additional context
I've had a look on other websites eg.

BBC image

alarabiya.net image

al jazeera image

these ones all have straight quotation marks not curly ones so it's not an issue.

I think we can edit this in the new translation plugin, I will double check
