Description

When using i18n strings, escape characters before quotes are erroneously showing in MobileWeb. This is the contents of strings.xml: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<resources>
    <string name="test1">\'Single Quotes\'</string>
    <string name="test2">\"Double Quotes\"</string>
    <string name="test3">No Quotes</string>
</resources>

    We can fix this, but I'm not sure why you would need to escape in the first place. If anything, things would use html entities like &quot;.

    Won't that break things for iOS and Android though?
