There are some "%" in the string to be translated that are confused as macros, generating an error when the translation is saved. Check for instance the following string:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/+source/snapd/+pots/snappy/ca/+translate?batch=10&show=all&search=%25+o

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 no always possible to find a matching word starting with "m" in another language, and this is not actually a macro.
