I would like to put here a warning for translators.
If you use single quote in your translation, this can lead you to some miss-functionning.
That comes from the fact some portions of the code mix javascript and php.
Suppose you have a php constant with single quote normally escaped:
define (MY_CONSTANT, 'prix d\'achat');
And this constant is used by javascript code:
my_variable = '<?php echo MY_CONSTANT ?>';
This lead to pbs as the closing quote is not the desired one on the javascript line:
my_variable = 'prix d'achat';
So avoid using single quote.

This is a good observation. I have R2.1 about ready to go but I will put this on the bug list for the next release. I have a js_encode function that will handle this but it's not used everyplace it should be. Thanks for the post.

Its practical observation from tentative to translate. But it's really a pain. Financials terms search for equivalents, chart of accounts different, taxes not federal, many many (big) files, all that get me mad and i dont see the end.
For the quote, I use html special char ' everywhere for the moment.
