Hi,

I'm a newcomer in this list, so I hope my question won't seem too stupid 
:-)

This is my problem:
I'm translating the program called Boinc from English to French.
Several string starts by a % character: exemple:

#: clientgui/DlgAdvPreferencesBase.cpp:249
#, c-format
msgid "% CPU time"
msgstr " % de temps CPU"

or

#: clientgui/DlgAdvPreferencesBase.cpp:493
#, c-format
msgid "% of total disk space"
msgstr "% de l'espace disque total"

When compiling the .po file, I have a fatal error:

23:33:40: /home/arnaud/Traductions/BOINC Manager.po:991: format 
specifications in 'msgid' and 'msgstr' for argument 1 are not the same
23:33:40: msgfmt: found 1 fatal error

How can I do to translate a sentence beginning by a %

Thanks you in advance for your help and suggestions.

Regards,
Arnaud
