Comment:
I have issues with trans tags containing % Symbols using django 1.5.1
The trans tag doesn't handle a % the same way makemessages does. A `{%
trans "value in %"}` still looks for a `msgid "value in %"` but
makemessages created a `msgid "value in %%"` for it.
The trans tag should implement the same string conversion as makemessage
does.
The workaround to already escape the % in the trans tag - `{% trans "value
in %%"}` - returns the right translation.
But as the translation will most likely have a "%%" in it the rendered
conent will have a "%%" too.
A workaround could be to let the TranslateNode return `value % ()`.
Currently the only way to avoid issues with % Symbols in translations is
using blocktrans tags.
It might be worth monitoring
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=30854 for changes on
gettext handling python format strings.
