Comment (by ramiro):
Yes, for the translatable literals extraction process templates are
(internally) converted to python code and then fed as such to the gettext
tools.
This means that Python string formatting specifiers rules should be
followed when using the i18n template tags with string literals containing
extrapolated variables or special meaning chars like `%`. In this case it
means you literal would need to be `{% trans "findme 10%% " %}` as per
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#python_002dformat
and http://www.python.org/doc/2.2.1/lib/typesseq-strings.html (linked from
the first).
I don't know if this means we should add a note to the effect to the docs.
