The quotes are just a safety measure; In this particular case, they serve no
purpose. But in general, so substitution is performed on parts that are in

OK thanks. The reason I ask, is because I define the Lond Date Format in a resourcestring constant. Translating that to a .PO file I end up with the following.... It works, but just doesn't look so nice. :)
#: gfx_constants:rslongdateformat
msgid "dd\" \"mmmm\" \"yyyy"
msgstr ""
