Add Swedish quotation marks to the special characters toolbar
Open, Needs TriagePublicFeature

Description

Add Swedish quote marks to the special characters section, part of the editor toolbar. The selection should be surrounded by .

For clarity:

  • English example: “word”
  • Swedish example: ”word”

Why change? Currently, you need to select e.g. English quote marks and copy the correct char, and remove the incorrect one.

I'm not completely convinced that it's reasonable to add every language's quotation marks, especially combining start+end, since there's quite a large variety - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#Summary_table.

Perhaps it'd be best to only show the current language's quotation marks?

Just stick to good old ASCII quotation marks.

@Bugreporter: Doesn't this require editing resources/src/mediawiki.language.specialCharacters/specialcharacters.json in MediaWiki Core instead of WikiEditor (2010)?
