noticed that in one string there appeared something like: '80%'. I was
wondering, does the percentage sign in this context require some escape
character, like '80%%' or '80\%' or whatever?
It depends, you have to look at the comments preceding the string; if it says
#, no-c-format
you can safely use special characters like %
If the string is marked as
#, c-format
you have to escape (e.g. 80%%)
Any decent .po editor will warn you if you make a mistake
(or just run "msgfmt --statistics --check" on the .po file before committing
it)
