OK I'll fix this up later this PM.

This sounds like the ampersand problem. Quoting in translation files
is completely broken at the moment. I have nearly got a fix done
and will try and get it finished later. In essence, don't expect
anything with quotes, ampersands, "<", ">" to compile or translate.

Equally there is an issue putting non-7 bit ASCII characters into
.xrc files at the moment - in essence they are meant to be XRC
escaped. So things aren't building right just now. I have a fix
for this too. In the mean time, please bear this in mind when
building patches (e.g. the insertion of copyright symbols
causes problems, you want instead to escape them like in HTML
or XRC).
