Hi,
I think it is better to show brackets or any other symbols on message itself. Many
language has a different sentence structure, so, automatically inserted (read as in
English way) symbols cannot merge, with localized message. It is highly stressful to
manage them with sentence (or part of sentence) structure. I afraid in this message
http://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Watchlistfor2 it is almost impossible in
Malayalam, so I am trapezing on words. If this is the case for Malayalam I am sure that
all Indic languages are facing same problem, and probably many other languages.
