Further to Tasks.Item1725, and KennethLavrsen suggestion, I am correcting all the ' signs in the fr.po to be escaped.

Done in Revision 4189.

The changes need to be reverted, since now most of the strings appear with visible "\'".

Reverted in Revision 4194.

Escaping can only be done on a case by case basis, whenever it effectively results in a truncated string. That can't be determined based on the translation files only. One needs to look at all the code where MAKETEXT is used to find the instances where a ' in the translated string would truncate the string. I am afraid I do not know, at the moment, of a way to automate finding the problematic code in the whole project likely to use MAKETEXT in this manner.

I am setting this task to "No Action Required", since the title of the Task is wrong "fr.po needs to escape all the ' signs, in order to avoid problems displaying the strings ". That is untrue.
