Onderwerp: [WG: I18N & L10N] Single quotes issue with crowdin

Hi, we detected an strange behaviour in crowdin that makes translation
more difficult for us.

In sakai (or other java system that uses Message properties), when an
string bundle has an operator like {0} in the sentence and also contains
single quote characters ' ,  all this characters must be escaped putting
2 single quotes. It's a bit tricky because only works for sentences with
{} operators.

Example of how to write single quotes in order to be printed correctly:

catalan:

newope=La nova data d''obertura de l''activitat ''{0}'' \u00E9s {1}

newassig.opedat=Data d'obertura


french :

newope=Nouvelle date d''ouverture {1} pour le devoir ''{0}''.

newassig.opedat=Date d'ouverture



When you look at crowdin web you see:

La nova data d'obertura de l'activitat '{0}' és {1}

and

Data d'obertura

It seems correct at first look. You can think that later it'll  handle correctly in the download, but when you download the zip file you got.


newope=La nova data d''obertura de l''activitat ''{0}'' \u00E9s {1}  (OK it was escaped)

newassig.opedat=Data d''obertura  (UPPPSSSS it must not be escaped)

Is there a solution for this? We didn't find any options to handle that.
Do you know how to do it correctly? We will try to correct it manually
if there isn't a valid solution, but it's a lot of work.

Thanks in advance.

Alex.
