XSL / XPATH: how to test if text contains apostrophe

Hallo,

for some reasons of calling functions with parameters, i have to test
if a text-node contains an apostrophe. My problem is that i cannot
write something like <xsl:if test="contains(., ''')">.
So i tried using entities or escaping, like that:
<xsl:if test="contains(., '&apos;')">
or:
<xsl:if test="contains(., '\'')">
but both didn't work.
Further problem is that i have to translate these apostrophes into
escaped ones like \' (<xsl:value-of select="translate(., '&apos;',
'\&apos;')" /> or <xsl:value-of select="translate(., '\'', '\'')" />).

Is there any way solving this problem.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Michael
