 # The syntax for the value has also changed.  According to the PHP manual, if a value in the ini file contains any non-alphanumeric characters it needs to be enclosed in double-quotes (").  That will basically mean all of our values will have to be enclosed in quotes, as a space is non alpha numeric.  If you want to include a double-quote in your string, you can use an html entity like & quot; or the default "_QQ_".  Finally, according to the PHP manual, the {}|&~![()^" characters have a special meaning in the value.  Unfortunately, they don't really unpack what that special meaning is - anybody have experience in this area? Reply from infograf768: My guess is that they can't be used if not enclosed in double quotes. Note from nikosdion: I concur with infograf768's comment. Also, all translation strings should be in double quotation marks.
 #  Comment syntax has changed, as we are typically using pound signs (#) and the standard parser requires semi colons (;). Note from nikosdion: you MUST use semicolons, otherwise your language files will not load
