How to escape single quotes in a translated array

[Luc]

Can anyone tell me how to escape the single quotes in a variable for the returned translated array?
Apparently it isn't working with a backslash like this:

$pages = 'Pagina\'s';

return [
    'pages' => $pages,
]

nor does it work with double quotes

$pages = "Pagina\'s";

return [
    'pages' => $pages,
]

Try to use the php function addslashes()

<?php
$pages = "Pagina's";

$array = [
    'pages' => addslashes($pages),
];

print_r($array);

This will return

Array
(
    [pages] => Pagina\'s
)

@ghermans said in How to escape single quotes in a translated array:

addslashes(

$currencies = "Valuta's";
$locales = "Talen";

return [
    'currencies' => addslashes($currencies),
    'currencies-and-locales' => addslashes($currencies) . ' en ' . $locales
]

It doesn't always give the same results as you can see in the screenshot.
We get "Valuta's" and "Valuta's en Talen"
