Hi, François,

I understand. But "Text" does not belong "hardcoded" into a script (in 
my eyes, at least) - it should remain in resources outside the code. 
Otherwise translating content would be very difficult. So when keeping 
content and code apart from each other (which should be good programming 
style) you would not have that problem - of course that does not help 
you _now_ ;-)

Otherwise the conversion script should look for words inside quotes, 
because _that_ always should be content (not variables). Putting 
variables into quotes may make sense inside Transcript but it surely 
isn't good style. So if your conversion script takes care of 
"inside-quotes" versus "outside-quotes" you easily get an accent-free 
code ;-)
