Play 2.6.2 Apostrophe not beeing rendered

[Sascha Thiel]

Hey all, 

I've experienced the problem, that the apostrophe ' will not be rendered with messages.

Sample: See what's happening

Output: See whats happening

So the ' just gets removed. Does anybody have an idea how to make the ' beeing rendered?

Bests,

Sascha

This sort of thing is typically an HTML escaping problem.  (Since apostrophe is a legal quote delimiter, it's sensitive, and very easy to mess this up.)  Have you inspected the final HTML (in the browser webpage), to see what is actually in there?  In my experience, you generally have to work backwards, to figure out where the apostrophe is being mishandled...

Hey, 

Unfortunately it is not just an escaping thing. I debugged it and the call of 

messages.get(lang(),"key");

is returning the string already without the apostrophe. So it must be something different.

Thanks and Bests,

Sascha

Hi Sascha,

The standard Java i18n resource bundle format requires escaping apostrophes by doubling them: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/MessageFormat.html

Within a String, a pair of single quotes can be used to quote any arbitrary characters except single quotes. For example, pattern string "'{0}'" represents string "{0}", not a FormatElement. A single quote itself must be represented by doubled single quotes '' throughout a String.

Pretty confusing, but not a Play-specific issue. It is mentioned in the Play docs however: https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.6.x/JavaI18N#Notes-on-apostrophes

Cheers,

Tim

Hi Sascha,

Are you using the Play Translations?

Because if you are, you can escape an apostrophe with two apostrophes.

Expected: what's

Use in code: what'''s

Thanks Tim and Tonny,

Escaping helped. I searched for the issue, but this page never showed up in my search results.

Bests,

Sascha
