    Translation issues w/HTML special character entities

    I just noticed the following bug in ClassiPress, in connection with localization files and HTML entites:

    Thoughout my German translation files, I use '& auml;' (without the space) etc. for German umlauts and other special characters. In at least one place, this leads to an error in the German text, as you can see in the following attachment.

    bitte_wählen.PNG

    The text in the dropdown field is cut off after the first ampersand, with the term 'Select One' being translated as "Bitte w& auml;hlen Sie' (again, I am leaving a space intentionally for demostration purposes)

    The corresponding code is in /includes/forms/step1.php lines 62ff:
    PHP Code:
                         if ( $cp_options->price_scheme == 'category' && cp_payments_is_enabled() && $cp_options->ad_parent_posting != 'no' ) {
                                    
    cp_dropdown_categories_prices('show_option_none=' __'Select one'APP_TD ) . '&class=dropdownlist&orderby=name&order=ASC&hide_empty=0&hierarchical=1&taxonomy='.APP_TAX_CAT.'&depth=1');
                                } else {
                                     
    wp_dropdown_categories('show_option_none=' __'Select one'APP_TD ) . '&class=dropdownlist&orderby=name&order=ASC&hide_empty=0&hierarchical=1&taxonomy='.APP_TAX_CAT.'&depth=1');
                                }

                                if ( 
    $cp_options->price_scheme == 'category' && cp_payments_is_enabled() && $cp_options->ad_parent_posting != 'no' ) {
                                    
    cp_dropdown_categories_prices('show_option_none=' __'Select one'APP_TD ) . '&class=dropdownlist&orderby=name&order=ASC&hide_empty=0&hierarchical=1&taxonomy='.APP_TAX_CAT.'&depth=1');
                                } else {
                                     
    wp_dropdown_categories('show_option_none=' __'Select one'APP_TD ) . '&class=dropdownlist&orderby=name&order=ASC&hide_empty=0&hierarchical=1&taxonomy='.APP_TAX_CAT.'&depth=1');
                                } 
    There my be other occurrences of this error, I believe the code must be corrected using the esc_attr_e() function, in order for this not to produce an error, however, I have not been successful in implementing the change. Could somebody please look into this and advise on the proper course of action?

    Also, my apologies for not picking up an error of thiis type earlier.
