Title:
  sprintf function problems with pluralrule

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  New

Bug description:
  sprintf function, used by smarty has problems with pluralrule which
  contains percent (%) sign.

  I've used quite some time to find out that I need to use double
  percent sign to make this work.

  If pluralrule string is translated via launchpad Mahara Translations,
  than there should be note, warning people of that, but if it is
  created programmatically than single percent signs in pluralrule
  string should be replaced with dobule percent signs.

  This musn't be confused with the string that appears in plural
  function though!!!

  'Original' string (for Slovenian) as it appears in Launchpad Slovenian Language Details page (https://translations.launchpad.net/mahara-lang/trunk/+pots/mahara/sl/+details)
  $string['pluralrule'] = '(n%100==1 ? 1 : n%100==2 ? 2 : n%100==3 || n%100==4 ? 3 : 0)';

  'Corrected' string (single % replaced with double %% - which sprintf can "digest")
  $string['pluralrule'] = '(n%%100==1 ? 1 : n%%100==2 ? 2 : n%%100==3 || n%%100==4 ? 3 : 0)';

  AFAIK the affected languages could be:
  - Arabic
  - Croatian
  - Romanian
  - Russian
  - Slovenian
