This removes the previous "or forward" text from the message actions popover, and keeps the documentation in sync with the new text. Internationalization tests are updated, too. Fixes #25603.

# Quote and reply
|
|
|
|
You can quote a previous message, either replying within a topic or to
|
|
start a new topic.
|
|
|
|
The first line of the reply contains a [permanent link][link-to-message]
|
|
to the quoted message. Zulip automatically turns mentions in the quoted text
|
|
into [silent mentions](/help/mention-a-user-or-group#silently-mention-a-user)
|
|
to avoid unnecessarily mentioning someone twice.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
You can use [quote blocks](/help/format-a-quote)
|
|
when quoting emails or other non-Zulip content.
