German translation at 100%

I've just tried to commit my updated translation. Got the following error message:

<stdin>:650: 'msgstr' is not a valid Python format string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason: In the directive number 1, the character 'v' is not a valid conversion specifier.
msgfmt: found 1 fatal error


The mentioned string in line 650:

#: ../pitivi/ui/encodingdialog.py:126
#, python-format
msgid "0% rendered"
msgstr "0% verarbeitet"

As you can see, we have the same "variables" (percent signs) in msgstr and msgid. But it's unlikely a variable rather than a percentage of zero percents, isn't it? You should escape it in any way to prevent msgfmt from misunderstanding it.
Comment 1 Mario Blättermann 2010-09-22 19:32:52 UTC 
For the time being, I've removed this string completely (including msgid and the leading comment) from the de.po and committed the file. No problems anymore. However, it doesn't fix this bug ;)
Comment 2 Edward Hervey 2010-09-23 06:34:34 UTC 
Can you try replacing that string in the code by "0%% rendered" and see if it fixes the issue ?
Comment 3 Mario Blättermann 2010-09-23 18:32:12 UTC 
I haven't replaced it in the code, just in the de.po:

#: ../pitivi/ui/encodingdialog.py:126
#, python-format
msgid "0%% rendered"
msgstr "0%% verarbeitet"

Whether this breaks the build process, I don't know. But "msgfmt -vc" doesn't produce any error messages.

I've just pushed a fixed for this to master.
