[WG: I18N & L10N] Recommendations from crowdin support

[Jean-Francois Leveque]

Hi,

It seems the option has to be set file by file.

Under "File Export Options", the available options are :
- Do not escape single quote
- Escape single quote by another single quote
- Escape single quote by backslash

The files already seem to be set with the first option.

This should already work.

Could you try one file and report with the complete file path if this 
works or not?

Cheers,
J-F
