Bug Description
Launchpad/gettext returns an error of the following type when attempting to translate strings that contain "%&":
" 'msgstr' is not a valid C format string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason: In the directive number 2, the character '&' is not a valid conversion specifier. "
This error message is returned even when I attempt to submit an identical copy of the original English string.
Any help would be much appreciated.
