Description (last modified by Ramiro Morales)

Reproduce:
Create a template:

{% load i18n %}
{% trans "findme 10% " %}

run ./manage.py makemessages -a

find the string in the .po file and translate it like this:

#: templates/test.html:2
#, python-format
msgid "findme 10% of their"
msgstr "findemich 10% an "

run ./manage.py compilemessages

get this error message:

/project/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/django.po:925: 'msgstr' is not a valid Python format string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason: In the directive number 1, the character 'a' is not a valid conversion specifier.
msgfmt: found 1 fatal errors
