How to use Quotation mark in translation CSV Magento 2

Question

I'm trying to change the following in a custom translation file but can't get it to work:

"Check "Remember Me" to access your shopping cart on this computer even if you are not signed in."

to

"Check "Remember Me" to access your shopping basket on this computer even if you are not signed in."

I have tried the following:

"Check \"Remember Me\" to access your shopping basket on this computer even if you are not signed in."

"Check ""Remember Me"" to access your shopping basket on this computer even if you are not signed in."

"Check \"\"Remember Me\"\" to access your shopping basket on this computer even if you are not signed in."

It's in a csv file that has other translations in that do work

• Atish Goswami: Can you please provide what steps you tried follow to do the above mentioned changes ?
• Mark: I have now added what I have tried. This sentence isn't affected by a JS file is it? It's part of the "Whats this" tool tip for "Remember Me"
• Atish Goswami: Try \"Remember Me\" ... backslash (\) to escape the double quotes
• Mark: Sorry just edited they should have been \
• Atish Goswami: Try "Check \"Remember Me\" to access your shopping basket on this computer even if you are not signed in."

Answer 1

Did a little bit of digging for this found it here:

vendor/magento/module-persistent/i18n/en_US.csv

The line states:

"Check "Remember Me" to access your shopping cart on this computer when you are logged out","Check "Remember Me" to access your shopping cart on this computer when you are logged out"

So you need to change this in your custom CSV file:

"Check "Remember Me" to access your shopping cart on this computer when you are logged out","Check "Remember Me" to access your shopping basket on this computer when you are logged out"

Hope this helps !!

Answer 2

you have to double the quotes in your language file.

"Check ""Remember Me"" to access","Check ""Remember Me"" to access"

 used by the csv format as delimiter 

• Erfan: Interesting approach.. why couldn't they simply have escaped it?
• Mihai MATEI: The safest way is to check how the string to be translated looks where it is defined. If the string contains ", use " in translation file. If it contains " then use "" in translation file. The double quotes is due to RFC-4180, paragraph "If double-quotes are used to enclose fields, then a double-quote appearing inside a field must be escaped by preceding it with another double quote."
