I think your right! Another one to add to the pre-translation checks! Which is why we are trying to get the UEB standard changed so apostrophes and single quotes are the same character in braille as they are in print.
Thanks for your advise.

Hi Paul,

The single quotation mark or apostrphe is a problem. Whether to treat it
as one or the other at the end of a word requires human discretion. In
en-us-g2.ctb it is treated as a quote with the dot pattern 356-3. and
there is a special rule for s' . This doesn't always work, but usually
it does. To do better you would have to use an editor like
BrailleZephyr.

Thanks for that John, but from what I can see it is still used if it's the
only punctuation used e.g. Boaz'
Maybe like s' we need to set a specific rule for z'
Hope I've understood it right!
Cheer

It is certainly working with en.us.g2.ctb . It handles things like
beginning and ending quotation marks.

Hi Guys,
Can I just check whether anyone knows if this opcode is actually working or
not!?
If you can give me an example, preferably with UEB?
Many thanks
Paul
