Hi, Akihiro

Thank you for your feedback. I didn't notice these issues before.

I think it's a bug of xml2po. "<link xlink:title=.. xlink:href=..>" in the
source XML file
will be changed to "<link title=.. href=..>" in the generated PO file.
I'm debugging to find the solution now.

But I cannot understand why it results in a situation that some para are
still untranslated.
Can you explain more?

It looks like a bug of Transifex.
David's solution may work.
We can change all "%" to "%" while converting to POT file, but it may
affect
the readability.
I see you reported a bug, and somebody suggested to use "completely"
instead of "100%".
Can we do the same change in operation guide?
