#8217; exposed, instead of special character (')

Something has gone wrong with converting the slides to translatable files, and now #8217; is shown in stead of (').

Found here:

Thank you for pointing this out, but this is not a bug. The slideshow is simply using accurate punctuation marks for design reasons, where ' is replaced by ‘ for example. The special characters are XML escaped from the source. Feel free to follow along in the translated strings, but there is no need. This makes more sense in some locales than others.

If this is confusing (I went on a quick assumption that other projects did this sort of thing as well) I will see about doing it another way for 11.10 :)
