* status: closed => reopened * ui_ux: => 0 * resolution: needsinfo => Comment: Reopened. I see this issue too with django 1.3 template {{{ {% trans '% of test' %} }}} po file {{{ msgid "% of test" msgstr "% van testtrans" }}} {{{ python manage.py compilemessages}}} gives the following error {{{ locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/django.po:950: 'msgstr' is not a valid Python format string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason: In the directive number 1, the character 'v' is not a valid conversion specifier. msgfmt: found 1 fatal error }}} Escaping with a double {{{ %% }}} in the template doesn'th help. (that renders as a double percentage) -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/11240#comment:13> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
