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.
