==== ORTHOGRAPHIC STANDARDS AND SYMBOLS ====

	Capitalization

Please follow the specific capitalization rules of each project:\\
[[isaac_project:ru:human_translation_guide:ht_ru_ling_instructions_0|ИНСТРУКЦИИ ПО ПЕРЕВОДУ, ВЫПОЛНЯЕМОМУ ЧЕЛОВЕКОМ (ЧП) v.2.6]]\\
[[isaac_project:ru:mtpe_ru_guide:mtpe_ru_guide_0|ПОСТРЕДАКТИРОВАНИЕ МАШИННОГО ПЕРЕВОДА (ПРМП) v.2.3]]\\

	Hyphen/en-dash/em-dash

Make sure you know the shortcuts for the en- and em-dash on your keyboard, do not use hyphen for everything.\\

•	Hyphen: -	(Use to join words; with no spaces)\\
For example: штаб-квартира, Лас-Вегас, сине-зеленый.\\
•	En-dash: –	(Use to show ranges in numbers and dates; with no spaces) For example: 9:00–17:00, 2021–2022.\\
•	Em-dash: —	(Use as a punctuation mark in a sentence; with non-breaking spaces on each sire)
For example: Жизнь — это борьба.\\

	Ellipsis

Ellipsis is written with three full stops, followed by a space.\\

For example:\\
Не знаю… а вдруг?\\
Что… кто… кто посмел?\\

	Quotation marks

Make sure you know the shortcuts for the right quotation marks on your keyboard, do not use straight quotation marks.\\
Use the French quotation marks: « » with no spaces inside. Example: «Пример»\\
If you have quotations within quotations, use the following format: «Пример „пример“
пример».\\
Exclamation points, question marks or ellipses go inside the quotes:\\
«Кто это сделал?» «Вперед!»\\
Periods or commas, however, are placed after the closing quotation mark:\\
«Добрый день», — сказал он.\\
Им задали прочитать комментарии к «Евгению Онегину».\\

Please avoid using the English punctuation such as the symbols for inches and feet
(′ and ″ respectively). Instead, spell out/abbreviate inches as дюймы (д., дм.) and feet as
футы (ф., фт).\\

	Percentages

Percentages are written with the % symbol after the number and a non-breaking space between them: 10 %, 50–100 %.\\

	Non-breaking spaces

Non-breaking spaces should be used before certain symbols and punctuation marks, such as the percentage symbol or an em-dash: 50 %, Хлеб — всему голова.\\
We can also use them, e.g., after initials: А. М. Головин; in acronyms like Ф. И. О. or before units of measurement: 25 г, 2 м. The main idea is to keep all the elements together.\\

	Other symbols and characters

Always translate & as “and” unless it appears in a proper/company name. Do not use the symbol “#” instead of the word “number”, use № instead.\\
