In Transifex I see:

> par exemple, l':ref:`multi-table-inheritance`

which is right, and dates from 8 years ago so I bet it propagated to
docs.djangoproject.com.

But in
https://docs.djangoproject.com/fr/3.2/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.OneToOneField
I see:

> par exemple, l”Héritage multi-table

which is wrong (see the "typographic" double quote).

This reminds me of typical
[smartquotes](https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/user/smartquotes.html)
issues, that we disabled on docs.python.org for similar reasons.

So, is smartquotes used on https://docs.djangoproject.com/fr/ and if so
can it be disabled to avoid those bugs?

Comment:

Globally, the smartquote functionality (https://www.sphinx-
doc.org/en/master/usage/configuration.html#confval-smartquotes) is nice,
as for example it converts the straight apostrophes to typographic
apostrophes that improve readability, so I wouldn't like to disable it
altogether. In those edge cases, I wonder if using a typographic quote in
the translation could be a workaround. I'll try that.

Still, this is rather a djangoproject.com issue, so I'll close it here.
