quotes are keeping their escape

[Oto BREZINA]

Seems .po escaping get into GUI (using : TortoiseSVN 1.8.99, Build 25131)

translating Gui text: Use 'mine' text block then 'theirs'
to: Použiť blok "Moje" potom "Ich"

In T-Merge it will show:Použiť blok \"Moje\" potom \"Ich\"

I expect remove '\' from '\"' sequence.

If the original text does not escape the quotes, you should not escape
them in the translation either. In this case here, you should use the
single quotes instead of the double quotes.

The problem is the resource type: these strings are used in the xml
resource for the ribbon, and there special chars are escaped differently
(xml escaping, e.g. '<' needs to be written as &lt;)

So you should always use the same quotes as the original string, and
escape them the exact same way.

I'll add a change to the ResText tool so that it removes those escaping
backslashes also for the xml resource.

Original text as well as translation does no escape quotes. .po format does.

When Po is loaded you should remove all escaping as well as join lines
etc to internal format and then escape it back to output format.
Only "by chance" po shares escaping with c.

While I can do it, it mean do not translate quotes ... I'm unsure about
other languages e.g. German but some other languages uses double quotes
as well.
