I am trying to replace the apostrophe (') with a space by the

quote in expression") when I put ' in the second argument. How
can I resolve that?
You aren't showing your current code for volunteers to analyze where
you are going wrong.
You have to distinguish attribute delimiters from string delimiters.
For example, this should work just fine:
select='translate($old,"'","")'
... because I'm using single quotes as my attribute delimiter and
double quotes for my string delimiters. That choice of string
delimiter allows me to embed an apostrophe in the string, which I do
with the entity reference.
Remember that entity substitution happens long before the syntax
analysis of the function call, so if you had:
select="translate($old,''','')"
... then you would get an error because that is *no* different from:
select="translate($old,''','')"
I hope this helps.
