Thank you for pointing this out, but this is not a bug. The slideshow is
simply using accurate punctuation marks for design reasons, where ' is
replaced by ‘ for example. The special characters are XML escaped from
the source. Feel free to follow along in the translated strings, but
there is no need. This makes more sense in some locales than others.

If this is confusing (I went on a quick assumption that other projects
did this sort of thing as well) I will see about doing it another way
for 11.10 :)

Title:
  #8217; exposed, instead of special character (')

  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu

  Something has gone wrong with converting the slides to translatable
  files, and now #8217; is shown in stead of (').
