Apostrophe doesn't get translated properly when placed in a resource bundle.

key = {0}'s brush is {1} centimeters tall

(e.g. Sam's brush is 4 centimeters tall)

The apostrophe gets missed if I format the above key from a java.util.ResourceBundle What could be the problem here?

You should escape the single quote as 

key = {0}''s brush is {1} centimeters tall
