Hi Florian,

A section explaining how to deal with single quotes and escaped braces is needed. Filters should do the necessary cleanup and let translators only see relevant text.

I also noticed that in case of choice-type replaceables, each option should be parsed and translatable text enclosed in <sub> elements. By doing this, the sample would become:

>     {The disk \"<ph ...>{1}</ph>\" contains <ph...>{0,choice,0#<sub>no files</sub>|^#<sub>one file</sub>|1<{0,number,integer} <sub>files</sub>}</ph>.} 

Thanks for the feedback.

Best regards,
Rodolfo
