------------------------------------------------+------------------------
The usage of apostrophe symbols in source code is inconsistent, sometimes
it's `’`(0x2019), and other times it's `'`(0x27). From what I understand,
gettext does not normalize this.
Looking at the translations of contrib.auth, there are several broken
keys. For instance:
Message source -
[Link](https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/contrib/auth/password_validation.py#L266)
Correct id -
[Link](https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/contrib/auth/locale/lv/LC_MESSAGES/django.po#L270)
Wrong id -
[Link](https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/contrib/auth/locale/lt/LC_MESSAGES/django.po#L277)
Grepping shows there are other places where `’` is used in translatable
strings but this is the place we encountered broken translation.
I'm not familiar with how Transifex operates and whether this should be
fixed in the translation. However, the inconsistency in the source doesn't
seem ideal.
