Bug Description
There are some "%" in the strings to be translated that are confused as macros, generating an error when the translation is saved. Check for instance the following string:
In the sixth paragraph, there is:
...
it to 50% means that the quota group...
...
and "% m" is interpreted as a macro, if it is not translated with a word starting with "m" after this %, the string is not saved and Launchpad says that the macros don't coincide.
Something should be done because it is not always possible to find a matching word starting with "m" in another language, and this is not actually a macro.
