   Transifex.com has special meaning for %1%, %2% etc substrings, so it could confuse translators.

   For example, it renders the source “Unknown. Syncing Headers (%1, %2%)…” as the following:

   

   This PR prevents such unintentional behavior.

   Is that some kind of error indication?

   It looks like Transifex considers %...% as a kind of a placeholder, but our custom placeholder list is empty.

   What if you make it %2%%?

   I don’t know for sure, but it leaves the %2% substring untouched.

   Populating custom placeholders seems to have fixed Transifex’s behaviour in this regard.
