Ok, but future translations might be missing this string with \-character
as the xgettext.sh will lose the \-character from messages.po.
Correct would be:
_("You can not have the '\' character in your full name.")
but in the messages.po (after xgettext.sh):
_("You can not have the '' character in your full name.")

Therefore the translator might translate the wrong string.
