Replying to [comment:5 Markus Holtermann]:
> I don't think the `.format()` option works with gettext though, does it?
It does. I don't recall the exact gettext version the support was added
to, but it works.
Sorry Jannis, but I don't think this is a bug. Even if the older `%()s`
syntax is not deprecated, I see more and more Python code using the
`'string'.format()` syntax. Translators have to get used to the new syntax
anyway. Moreover, if the content is mistakenly translated, `msgfmt -c`
will notice it as an error (the string is marked `#, python-brace-format`
in the po files) and we will not accept the file in Django. The fact that
Transifex accepts the wrong translation is a bug in Transifex.
