Comment:
#11240 is about a similar issue but with `{% translate %}` template tag.
The main difference is that by design we don't support %-formatting in `{%
translate %}` (see [https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/11240#comment:16
comment]), which is not the case in `gettext()`. `gettext()` supports
`%-formatting` and `%o` is a valid conversion type (signed octal value) so
there is not much we can do. I'd recommend to remove `50%` from translated
string (it's not something that will change in different languages), e.g.
{{{
gettext('This item is %(discount)s off!') % {'discount': '50%'}
}}}
