Django translation escape %s

In a template in DJango I need to keep %s as a result of a translation.

Example:

{% trans '%s record' %}

Needs to translate to:

English: 

%s record

Dutch: 

%s opname

Problem is that in de django.po file, ik heeps adding:

#, fuzzy, python-format
msgid "%%s record"
msgstr "%s opname"

Correct function code:

msgid "%s record"
msgstr "%s opname"

But every run on ./manage.py compilemessages creates the wrong code.

If you need variable translation - use {% blocktrans %}{% endblocktrans %} instead.

Like this:

<p>
{% blocktrans %}
{{ variable }} record
{% endblocktrans %}
</p>

Django picks it up and creates correct translation string from it.
