needed"].
Certain aspects of a translation must be able to differ to the original:
* <a>: The "title="description" has to be translatable
* <a>: The "href="URL" has to be translatable at least for external links
* <i>,<b>: Addittional/fewer tags for emphasizing
* <br />: Additional/fewer line breaks
* & &: Additional/fewer &-symbols
*  : Additional/fewer non-breaking-spaces
* © © copyright-symbol
* ® ® registered-symbol
* ™ ™ tm-symbol
* – – n-size dash
* — — m-size dash
* … … ellipses...
Besides & and , those entities could also be inserted as regular
Unicode chars. A drop-down menu for inserting would be helpful if that
road were taken. (Or even in general, to insert the &xyz; instead of the
Unicode char...)
It's relatively seldom used, so the "How to insert?" isn't that important
than the "We have to be able to use more/less of them than there are in
the original text".
As it's a bit more important than other tickets, esp. concerning linking
to localized external sites, I gave this ticket a prio=high.
