Using the apostrophe character with {0}

Opened this issue · 1 comments

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Translating a string with a parameter :
#: src/name.c:36
msgid "My name is {0}.\n"
msgstr "Je m'appelle {0}.\n" 
2. Compile and run

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected is the retrieval of the string "Je m'appelle cindy.\n" but get "Je 
mappelle {0}.\n" instead.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Gettext Commons 0.9.6

Please provide any additional information below.

If we use 
msgstr "Je m''appelle {0}.\n"
, it is OK. But the double apostrophe appears on strings without parameters..

0.9.8 is still affected.

Seems like "MessageFormat.format()" is the cause of it.
