[Fvwm-crystal-users] fvwm translation bug

[Dominique M. <dom...@gm...>]

I found a bug when making the French translation. If your language
contain the apostrophe "'", to have it into a menu translated string,
will screw up the corresponding menu entry and associated function.
That imply not only the displayed string can and will be wrong, but that
menu entry will not work at all. To escape the "'" into the
translation doesn't help, or help randomly in a few cases.

The same string into a FvwmForm will work fine. I reported this to the
Fvwm workers list, but get no answer at that time. The only workaround
I find is to not use "'" into translated menu strings, and when not
possible, to replace "'" by something like "_" or " ". I think it will
be the same issue with other characters used by fvwm as quoting
characters, and I rally hope they will be the only ones causing
that issue.

Thanks for your time.
Dominique
