If django.po contains these lines:
{{{
msgid "This is a string with a %(variabel)d."
msgstr "Das ist eine Zeichenkette ohne Variable."
}}}
This error will occur when compiling with
{{{
django-admin.py compilemessages
}}}
''a format specification for argument »items« doesn't exist in »msgstr«''
BUT if a translation file for JavaScript djangojs.po contains the same
lines no error will occur and this mistake will not be discovered until
you stumble upon it by chance.

Comment (by claudep):
I guess that the msgid line is preceded by `#, python-format` in
`django.po` and not in the `djangojs.po`, right?

That's correct. How can I configure Django to include {{{#, python-
format}}} also in djangojs.po files?

Comment:
Unfortunately, I'm afraid this is not in Django's hands, as we delegate
string extraction to xgettext. And with gettext version >= 0.18.3 we'll
use the gettext JavaScript parser on which we have still less control. So
I don't see any possible resolution to this. And really, you should not
use the `%(...)s` format when you only have one placeholder in a string,
that should minimize the impact of possible mistranslations.
