I use gettext to translate my user interface. I'd like to write symbol % as part of a UI caption in a string, but since it has a special meaning, does not works as expected. How can I escape percent symbols?

Use %% to escape %.

  • If I'm right, the same rules apply here as in `sprintf`-like string formatting. – viam0Zah Sep 17 '10 at 07:25

    This doesn't seem to be the case with python though http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41730770/translating-with-gettext-and-jinja2-and-pyramid – boatcoder Jan 19 '17 at 14:48
