Deployment Type

NetBox Cloud

NetBox Version

v3.7.1

Python Version

3.11

Steps to Reproduce

Attempt to compile translation messages using the compilemessages management command.

Expected Behavior

Translations should compile from their .po files without issue.

Observed Behavior

An error is raised. (This occurs with multiple languages.)

$ ./manage.py compilemessages -l ja
processing file django.po in /home/jstretch/projects/netbox/netbox/translations/ja/LC_MESSAGES
Execution of msgfmt failed: /home/jstretch/projects/netbox/netbox/translations/ja/LC_MESSAGES/django.po:7600: 'msgstr' is not a valid Python format string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason: The character that terminates the directive number 1 is not a valid conversion specifier.
/home/jstretch/projects/netbox/netbox/translations/ja/LC_MESSAGES/django.po:7834: 'msgstr' is not a valid Python format string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason: The character that terminates the directive number 1 is not a valid conversion specifier.
msgfmt: found 2 fatal errors
CommandError: compilemessages generated one or more errors.

This is the affected string:

#: ipam/forms/bulk_edit.py:257 ipam/forms/bulk_edit.py:301
#: ipam/models/ip.py:271 ipam/models/ip.py:538
#, python-format
msgid "Treat as 100% utilized"
msgstr "100% 使用済みとして扱う"

I believe the issue stems from the use of a non-escaped percentage sign (%) in the original string.

Somewhat related, AWS Translate also errors on two help_text strings under CustomLinkForm. We can reformat these to remove the code examples within the strings.
