Bug Description

Binary package hint: abiword

There is a "c-format" tag before this string:
#. DLG_PageSetup_Percent
#: po/tmp/ap_String_Id.h.h:29
#, c-format
msgid "% of normal size"
msgstr ""
This caused launchpad and other po editors recognize "% of" to "%o", so translators cannot do normal translations, e.g. in zh_CN the msgstr line should be like this: msgstr "% 正常尺寸", but now it can't be used for such reason.
So please have a look at it and perhaps remove that tag.

Strange.

It looks like the c-format is only available in the zh_CH po file.

Aron, can you please request a po download from Rosetta, manualy delete the c-format and they reupload it.
You can also delete all X-Launchpad headers and upload it as upstream version.

Please contact the zh_CH upstream translator and ask him to also fix this problem upstream.

This is the Romanian file found in the source package
#. DLG_PageSetup_Percent
#: po/tmp/ap_String_Id.h.h:29
msgid "% of normal size"
msgstr "% din dimensiunea normală"
