They are just warnings. The application is apparently written assuming
the non-standard quoting for string literals.

I recommend you inform the authors of the application that they should
update it to use standard-conforming string literals. Then, you can turn
"escape_string_warning = off" to suppress the warnings while you are
waiting for them to fix it.
