Hi there, altering a php script to work in a foreign language and i need help!

eg i have this line
if(!checkLen('nom'))
$err[]='The name field is too short or empty!';

i want to put something like d'el in the $err[]='area' however of course when i put in the d'el it seems to the script that i am closing off the statement
eg
$err[]='es d'el';

any one help me

thanks again you guys you rock (as always)
