$Resources:core,ContentEditorWebPartTitle;

Question

In a specific place within my page layout I want users to be able to edit the text. Sounds simple. I copied the Content Editor snippet from the Snippet Gallery and pasted it into my page layout. 
But all it does is show me $Resources:core,ContentEditorWebPartTitle;
I then tried placing the Content Editor snippet inside a Web Part Zone snippet. But than my users just get a link to add a Web Part:

Hi  ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to add the Content Edit Web Part
 into Page Layout in your SharePoint 2013.
For adding the Content Editor Web Part to a SharePoint Layout , you can add the  code between the <Zonetemplate> tags:
<!-- CEWP -->
<WebPartPages:ContentEditorWebPart ID="ContentEditorWebPart1" runat="server" __MarkupType="xmlmarkup" WebPart="true" __WebPartId="{F40E10C3-ED3A-473D-8538-996344EE795C}" >
<WebPart xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2">
<Title>Content Editor Web Part</Title>
<FrameType>TitleBarOnly</FrameType>
<Description>Use for formatted text, tables, and images.</Description>
<IsIncluded>true</IsIncluded>
<PartOrder>2</PartOrder>

<ContentLink xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ContentEditor" />
<Content xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ContentEditor"><![CDATA[Edit this text.]]></Content>
<PartStorage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ContentEditor" />
</WebPart>
</WebPartPages:ContentEditorWebPart>
