  Within a String, "''" represents a single quote.
  A QuotedString can contain arbitrary characters except
single quotes; the surrounding single quotes are removed.

configuration panel.

2.Display message with single quote (inconsistent
Certificate, new installation or update of extension, ...)

2) Substitute "{0}", "{1}" variables in these "single quote
messages".

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
*** No Source code ***

Several messages content single quote and {0} variables in
sun.plugin.resources.Activator_fr.class resource file.

Example with "https_dialog.text" entry:

 French text entry is:
   ......
   Nom d'hôte de l'URL : {0}
   Nom d'hôte du certificat : {1}

 This message is displayed like this:
   ......
   Nom dhôte de lURL : ybs.myCompany.fr
   Nom dhôte du certificat : {1}

3 Remarks:
- Quotes are removed
- "{0}" is substituted (->Two single quote exist in the sentence)
- "{1}" is displayed (->Only one single quote)


 For information, english message would be:
   ....
   Host name of the URL: ybs.myCompany.fr
   Host name from the certificate: john.myCompany.fr

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
Use english version ( "-Duser.language=fr" parameter )
