Entity References for particular symbols, like ＆quot;, ＆nbsp;, and ＆amp;, used in HTML or XML source, should be shown as actual characters, like ", [space], and & when you are translating. [/quote]
1. Using the full-width ampersand instead of the generic ampersand in the forums, to avoid the forum software from interpreting it, is a neat trick.
2. Yes, I agree that that would be what I would have assumed, if the source text is XML or an XML-like format.

Are you speaking as a project manager or a translator? If the latter, do you have access to the source file so that you can verify the source says e.g. ＆quot; and not perhaps ＆amp;quot; ? Or: are you sure the source text is an HTML or XML file, and not e.g. a Word file with XML-like text in it?
