Sort keys are most often not defined as linguistic terms, but as abbreviation with possibly modified orthographies. In addition then may often be limted to a space or may start by a space. These keys should be visualized between alternate quotation marks (without inner spaces).
Please change:
- "Sort key changed from $1 to $2" to "Sort key changed from ‹$1› to ‹$2›"
- "Sort key set to $1" to "Sort key set to ‹$1›"
- "Sort key unset from $1" to "Sort key unset from ‹$1›"
Otherwise, the sort keys are not easily to see clearly in messages to exhibit the differences.
Note that these alternate ‹technical quotation marks›, suitable for English, Spanish, Italian, French or most languages written with the Latin script, may still be translated or reversed, e.g. in ›German‹ or 「Chinese」(it's up to translators to choose what looks the best for their conventions and opening/closing directions). So they should avoid using the too common 'single' or "double" ASCII quotation marks in English.
