The commas are an attempt to use localized double quotes with the ASCII
character set. The message above reads, translated into English:
ln: Creating symbolic link "doc" to "../xfce4/doc": Permission denied
Basically:
left right
English "6" quotes above "9" quotes above
German variant 1 right-pointing angles left-pointing angles
German variant 2 "9" quotes on baseline "6" quotes above
A better ASCII representation for the German variant 2 quotes used in
the message above would be:
,,zitierte Worte''
Better would be to use the double-angle quotes, as they are less
ambiguous:
»zitiertie Worte«
or, in ASCII:
>>zitierte Worte<<
Complain to GNU, or whoever wrote that 'ln' implementation.
