I'm afraid that won't work.  The quotes need to be escaped, like in

grep -o linkend=[\'\"] xorg-config.xml
linkend="
linkend='
linkend="
[...]

or

grep -o "linkend=[\'\"]" xorg-config.xml

Same for sed.

Personally, I doubt the usefulness/value of translations of LFS/BLFS
anyway because sooner or later the user will have to deal with English -
when asking for support or reporting bugs elsewhere etc.  And any
translation carries the risk of mistakes.  I also think that
translations of the books are based on the _assumption_ that there is
some demand for it.  But is there?
