[Koha-translate] Error in english po-files

[Fischer, Katrin]

Hi Lars,

this looks familiar, I think I described the problem for line breaks in bug 4883 that you now encounter with the escaped quotes:

http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4883

I think the answer to that is that we should not be using escape characters in translatable strings like this and need to fix it in the templates. What you could do for now is translate those strings without using \ at all, by rephrasing or using single quotes.

Hope this helps,

Katrin
