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.
