To get a ' into an XPath string literal you need to use " to surround
the string as in
"If you don't have a user, please"
then to get that expression into an XML attribute you either delimit
with ' and quote the '
select='"If you don't have a user, please"'
or delimit with " and quote the "
select=""If you don't have a user, please""
Or for most purposes you can use the aternaive form using content not an
attribute and not have to quote anything
<xsl:variable name="text.general.ifNotRegistered"
If you don't have a user, please</xsl:variable>
