Why colors in transitional don't work properly?

I've got something like

"Commercial"
{
	"#format"	"{1:s}"
	"pl"		"Bla bla \x04BLAAA\x01! BLA LA: \x04{1}"
}

But it just prints "\x4", "\x1" instead of changing colors.

I've found a topic https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=121330 but there is no answer. They suggest to use additional library, but I don't need extra colors. I want to do it without extra libraries.

So how to do it?

I'd assume escape sequences are only evaluated in string literals at compile-time. You'll either need to replace them yourself (e.g. formatting the translation to a string and doing ReplaceString on it) or manually add 04 and 01 bytes to the text file.

How can I add manually 04 and 01 bytes to a text file?

With a hex editor.

It's a lot easier to just use that library though.

OK, finally I used simple string replace Thanks for help.
