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
