Replying to [comment:3 claudep]:
> This was discussed already AFAIR. We have currently no way to tell if
the markup from a translated string should be escaped or not, as it is
perfectly legal to mark for translation strings having HTML markup. Until
now, we simply trust translations, as if they were code. I'm open to some
strategy to change this behavior if anyone has good ideas.
> Until then, the workaround is to update the translation with escaped
content.
I agree that in general there can be some choices but in this particular
place of code (where translated string is in `title` attribute) there
should not be any unescaped chars. So I don't see any drawbacks of
escaping it in this template. In english and all locales that don't have
quotes everything will remain as it is now while bug will be fixed in
others.
