Those %0's most definitely are substitution escapes. They are not the same as printf substitutions, but they are substitutions nonetheless. Having said that, I can see the problem - it thinks the escape is "%0 o" instead of just "%0". Your fix is to remove the "#, c-format" annotation. The second translation needs to have "%0" in it somewhere analogous to where it appears in the English, or the error messages will not make sense in context. I am attempting to get a more flexible mechanism for format-string handling put into gettext, but Bruno so far refuses to even consider it. (Thank you for bringing this case to my attention, it illustrates a situation where both the existing choices are wrong.) zw
