I couldn't understand using ' to substitute "'", as well as "". Is
it necessary?

Yes, I have the same question.

Why they are broken into several parts. They were translated very well.
But in this case, most of them can't be translated into a grammatically
right ordered language, the worse is that we have no way to translate them.

For example in i18n:

Truetype

and

OpenType

fonts

<command>ttname</command> is a new CLI interface for editing the
<literal>name</literal> table that contains the metadata in

It's been cut into 5 strings, this prevents me translating them to
Chinese. Because if I write them in Chinese, then the first 4 strings
should be arranged between "editing" and the the rest characters of the
5th string. In other words, they should be in one string like before.

This change would also make translators feel very confused, when they
haven't translated these sentences before.

To the translators who have translated these sentences few days ago,
like me, I think this is a disaster :-|
