[WG: I18N & L10N] Recommendations from crowdin support

[Alex Ballesté]

Hi, some minutes ago I received the last answer about the single quote 
escaping from crowdin support:

----

Our engineers say that currently we're not planning to improve behavior of *.properties file format import/export, because it may be confusing and may impact negatively on other projects at Crowdin.

Hope for your understanding.

Meanwhile, we suggest you the following workaround:
1) Disable "escape single quote by another single quote" option for all files (switch to "Do not escape single quote);
2) Exported files will be equal with made translations ( ' will be exported as ' , '' will be exported as '').

Though, it would be necessary to check all translations from all languages containing quotes [ ' ] and correct ' to '' if needed ( in case string contains {0} ).

Also, you may use MessageFormat method to render all strings in your app with "Escape single quote by another single quote" option enabled in project settings.
In result, everything should work as you need.

Will that work for you?

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

And my question is the same. Will that work for us?

Now we are trying to repair all the catalan string bundles that are 
wrong, and I hope that we'll be able to commit them today.
Does anybody else detected this problem in their property files?

Thanks.
