You must be talking about the Unicode apostrophe. Yes, some french keyboards
or people writting code with Windoze have been inserting it in the code.

Unicode at the translation /source/, not only the localized strings.

Can you tell us in what sense do the translations break in your case? What
tool are you using to manipulate them?
