Just to get this clear for myself, the man page currently use quoting
characters (not plain ''), i.e. 

L\\(aq\\e0\\(aq

And this should not be translated? Currently I translate the quotes,
i.e. in German this is marked as:

L»\\e0«

This is probably wrong?

Is there a way to note that this quotes are not to be translated even
though they are not printed literally but with the macro \\(aq?

I explicitly ask this because using macros (markup) is a clear sign
for me that it can be translated, and thus this breaks my heuristics.

Thanks for clarifications.

Greetings

         Helge
