Oh yeah, here's the PHP documentation page about sprintf(). The "%%"
part is obscurely explained there as:

 Each conversion specification consists of a percent sign (%), followed by one 
or more of these elements, in order:
 ...
 6. A type specifier that says what type the argument data should be treated 
as. Possible types:
    % - a literal percent character. No argument is required.

They do make it a bit clearer in one of the examples where there's a
code comment that says "// notice the double %%, this prints a literal
'%' character".

Title:
  warning message when using japanese language pack

Status in Mahara:
  In Progress
Status in Mahara 17.10 series:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Install japanese language pack
  go to admin/index.php
  refresh the page

  you will see a warning message:
   [WAR] b4 (lib/mahara.php:1470) sprintf(): Too few arguments

  This is happening because the function sprintf has a string parameter
  containing a '%' symbol that makes the function expect an extra
  string, but the symbol is in fact part of an URL.

  
  parameter string: 
   <strong class="error text-danger">Cronが動作していません。</strong><br 
/>cronのセットアップに関するインストラクションは<a 
href="https://wiki.mahara.org/wiki/System_Administrator%27s_Guide/Installing_Mahara";>installation
 guide</a>をご覧ください。あなたがすでにcronをセットアップしている場合、直近の1つまたはそれ以上の処理が正しく実行されませんでした。
