Hi Gabriel,

We Japanese community faced the same problem.
When I reported it to Transifex GitHub, I got the following response.
https://github.com/transifex/transifex/issues/239
https://github.com/transifex/transifex/issues/219

PO file is generated from various kind of sources which includes
program sources or normal documents.
Program sources may constains several % specifiers and % character has
a special meaning.
On the other hand, % is a normal character in normal documents
(including OpenStack documents).
Trasifex behavior mainly focuses on the former.

Transifex cannot know from what source uploaded PO files are generated.
I think Transifex needs an additional attribute to specify a type of
PO files to address this issue.

At this moment, we need to escape % character to avoid this problem in
Transifex.

Thanks,
Akihiro

P.S.
I often translates message strings extracted from program sources
and this feature of Transifex is really helpful for such contents.
