Title:
  Translation: Presence of % in strings confuses Launchpad

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  New
Status in snapd package in Ubuntu:
  New

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:

  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 not always possible to find a
  matching word starting with "m" in another language, and this is not
  actually a macro.
