You're trying to put single quotes inside single quotes, which won't
work. Also, \ doesn't need to be doubled inside single quotes: every
character inside '' apart from ' itself is interpreted literally.
The first sed expression should read like this:
's/\'\''s/á/g'
You write ' as '\'' because what you're doing is leaving the quotes,
inserting just one ' character with \', and then re-entering the quotes.
