Bug ID: 959636
           Summary: Transifex expression check problem
           Product: Fedora Documentation
           Version: devel
         Component: security-guide
          Severity: unspecified
          Priority: unspecified

Description of problem:
  I encountered error message saying  
    "The expression '% a' is not present in the translation." 
  while translating strings below[1] on transifex[2]. 
  So, I couldn't save translation strings. 
  But, this string '% a' is not gettext expression. 
  If there is a blank characters following '%',  
  you should not check it, shouldn't you?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
  Fedora 19

How reproducible:
  Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Fedora Security Guide on Transifex.
2. Translate strings that contains character '%'.

e.g.
https://fedora.transifex.com/projects/p/fedora-security-guide/translate/#ja/...

3. Click "Save".

Actual results:
  "The expression '% a' is not present in the translation."

Expected results:
  Save translated strings.

It looks well.

However, can't a writer using transifex use '%' character?

I have no idea.  I wouldn't think that the '%' character would be bad unless it
would need to be escaped as a variable.  I'd prefer to use a word there instead
of the number.

Thanks a lot. please use a word there instead of the number. please close this
issue.
In some case, you can use "%" instead of '%'.
