Comment (by emmapeel):

 In general, the less we mindfuck the translators, the better the
 translations will result.

 This escaping of the ' , for example, creates a set of doubts if you have
 a language very far from ASCII, because then you think: 'I cannot write
 normally, I need to escape each character' and stuff like that.

 So if you want better translations, I would suggest to take this escaping
 character out, and always try to have the simplest of strings, regarding
 escaping, HTML tags, etc (and 'never concatenate strings' ofc). This is
 not urgent but I thought it may be pertinent :D
