[Engine-devel] stripping ' from log messages

Hi, while working on a patch for engine I ran into a code which removes ' from log messages. It's in Log.java: 165 method transform. Seems like it's there since the conversion to java happened. This code cripples the log messages i.e can't -> cant, it's -> its ..etc. Is there some reason why it's there? Or could it be removed? Thank you, Jirka
