#12173: I18n: Message contains unescaped '100%', translation fail

 Priority:  normal        |   Milestone:  2.9.2
Component:  General       |     Version:       
 Severity:  normal        |    Keywords:  i18n

 A translatable message in WordPress contains the literal 'if you are 100%
 certain'. This should change to 'if you are 100%% certain'.

 The gettext tools for the localisation of WordPress expect a format
 specifier in the translated message, thus the message is shown as
 untranslated on a live WordPress deployment.

 The real issue is that '100% certain' is very colloquial and informal. It
 does not translate well in other languages/cultures.

 Therefore, I suggest to fix the message,
 from 'if you are 100% certain'
 to the CORRECT 'if you are absolutely certain'.
