Make sure that the Regular Expression radio button is clicked on the Search Mode panel of the Replace dialog. Then

Find what: ('[^']*') => ('[^']*') Replace with: \1 => __\(\2, 'mytextdomain'\)

The main thing is that if you want parenthesis in your result they need to be escaped because parenthesis are special just like ^ & . + and *
