This won't be fixed in Ubuntu only, so what's the point with setting
higher importance for Ubuntu compared to upstream?

When you find that the developers give something lower priority than
yourself, one way - maybe the only way - to move it forward is to start
working and, in this case, submit pull requests in the upstream repo.

  be changed per locale

Bug description:
  Strings like [1] are provided to translators like this:

     %s not installed↲

  … which is rendered in the program like this:

     "<snap>" not installed

  … or in Spanish:

     "<snap>" no instalado

  … instead of the correct

     «<snap>» no instalado

  Not all languages use English quotation marks. [2]
  Please include the quotation marks in the translatable string so that they can be customized to fit the typographical requirements of each language.
