Description

When I search any term (in titles or in text) without hits, I get an error in my spanish-configured browser.

I get this page:

Discussion

I can't reproduce this. Can you try it again and give more details?

True! I'm using the spanish language configured in my browser. Using english goes ok. This happens with the spanish page. It seems to be a problem with the translated message (some incorrect character, maybe?). Try now changing the default language of your browser preferences to spanish.

OK, I could reproduce it. But I am still working on finding the reason for that strange behaviour...

The language to check is Espanol

The reason for that bug is that we dont escape % chars in result of substituting text. e.g. always if a wikiname is substituted to its url it has escape chars for the url address. Those chars start with a % sign. Because the next char following this % sign is not defined as subsitution char we got this error.

We have on file attachment view a similiar problem: e.g. view

if we change in AttachFile.viewFile formatted to False as a workaround the problem is gone

title = _('attachment:%(filename)s of %(pagename)s', formatted=False) % {
        'filename': filename, 'pagename': pagename}
