You're right, so far I have no problem with other people translating. But I hope to have this kind of problem soon :). in fact I did that for what I understood of translating the strings from program sources. Is there yet another way to translate files from Transifex?

Hi Gabriel,
Yes. When we upload PO files to Transifex, % checks seem to be skipped. This is an easy way to skip the issue.
Note that this approach is dangerous and cannot be used when several translators are actively translating the same documents. Uploading a PO file may override strings from others.
Thanks, Akihiro
Thank you very much for the answer and the tip Akihiro. I have just downloaded .po file, changed the string, sent it back and it worked nicely.
Regards, Gabriel

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.

This does looks like an issue in Transifex. Have anyone talked with

Transifex guys to ask if they are aware of that? I searched their issues but there isn't any about it.
