Given the way it is used (no consistency at all) I'd
change those into normal hyphens. kk is not the only
language using various flavours of the hyphen: I think also
Vietnamese uses it.

the newt frontend has this "bullet" glyph (see [1]) and even if I
personally think the installer shouldn't use caharacters as if it was
an OO document, I can understand Clytie point.

mk never uses normal quote char (<U0022>), only minor problem
is:
94 <U201c> "“"
93 <U201e> "„"
I've fixed the following so the number of open / close quotes should be right:
1) пример за некои Dell лаптопи потребно е тука да се внесе „exclude port 0x800-0x8ff„
2) Извршувањето на “/sbin/lilo“ не успеа, враќајќи грешка „${ERRCODE}“.
3) Извршувањето на preseeded командата “${COMMAND}“ не успеа враќајќи код на
4) Директориумот „${DIR} не постои.
uk uses normal quote character 8 times (always surrounding "root")
and <U201c> <U201e> 97 times, which looks like consistency is kept.
One last thing:
bot "es" and "gl" use "¿" (<U00bf>) at the beginning of every question:
is it normal / right ?
ciao,
