How to add the % symbol to a string?

[josefnpat]

Is there a way to have a string with a % symbol in it?

I think the library thinks it's a variable, and tries to format it. I've tried \% and %%.

Can you provide an example code showing the issue?

No problem!;

$ cat fail.lua
i18n = require'i18n.init'

i18n.set('en.test','%{name} feels 100%!')

print(i18n('test',{
  name = "Seppi",
}))
