Description

Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/66314

In src/js/_enqueues/admin/inline-edit-post.js, line 224:

buttonVisuallyHiddenText = wp.i18n.sprintf(
    /* translators: %s: Post title. */
    wp.i18n.__( 'Remove “%s” from Bulk Edit' ),
    theTitle
);

HTML entities like “ and ” should not be present in JavaScript translatable strings:

1. In GlotPress (translate.wordpress.org), translators for languages with different quotation rules (such as German „...“ or French «...») are forced to deal with raw numeric HTML character references rather than standard typographical punctuation.
2. In client-side JavaScript, translatable strings are intended as literal text. Replacing “ and ” with Unicode curly quotes “ and ” adheres to WordPress internationalization best practices and ensures consistent rendering across both assistive technology and localization tooling.

Testing Instructions

1. Navigate to Posts > All Posts in the WordPress admin.
2. Select multiple posts by checking their checkboxes in the table.
3. In the Bulk Actions dropdown, select Edit and click Apply.
4. Inspect the Bulk Edit area showing the list of selected posts.
5. Inspect the remove button markup for each post (.ntdelbutton .screen-reader-text):
   • Before: Contains Remove “...” from Bulk Edit (raw entity string).
   • After: Contains Remove “...” from Bulk Edit (clean curly quotes).
6. Verify clicking the remove button continues to remove the item from the bulk edit list as expected.
