Bug Description

I was about translating the Transmission BitTorrent client and came over this https://translations.launchpad.net/transmission/trunk/+pots/transmission/de/144/+translate. After translating into German (would be "<i>%1$'d Stück @ %2$</i>") launchpad sent:

Error in Translation: 'msgstr[0]' is not a valid C format string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason: In the directive number 1, the character ';' is not a valid conversion specifier.'msgstr[1]' is not a valid C format string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason: In the directive number 1, the character ';' is not a valid conversion specifier.

Is this kind of string to complex, or are there not allowed characters?

The "s" behind the "$" was important. So it was my fault. Sorry for that!
