This is a late "thank you, Andre".
A few days before your email I caught such a mistake in a new
translation, and asked it to be fixed, but I was not aware there
were similar mistakes already in pt_BR translation. Worse, I didn't
know people were not aware of the meaning of the double quotes.
Keep up the good work!
