Comment (by claudep):
The problem with the current solution of doubling percents in `trans`
string content (to prevent msgfmt check errors, as explained in #11240),
is that it's almost impossible to make the reverse operation by replacing
double percents by single ones, because the result is a lazy translation
(and should be kept lazy), hence post-processing the string is not
possible. `blocktrans` does that implicitely during the placeholder
substitution operation (`result % data`).
The only solution I can see currently is to stop doubling percents in
`trans` strings, and document that in case of translation problems, a
translator comment should be added before the string: `# Translators:
xgettext:no-python-format` (to prevent msgfmt from complaining).
