Proposed Changes

When running the compilemessages management command (i.e. in preparation for a new release), several instances of the following error are currently raised:

Execution of msgfmt failed: /home/jstretch/projects/netbox/netbox/translations/fr/LC_MESSAGES/django.po:11123: 'msgstr' is not a valid Python format string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason: The string ends in the middle of a directive.
msgfmt: found 1 fatal error

The offending source string appears to be

#: netbox/ipam/models/ip.py:551
#, python-format
msgid "Report space as 100% utilized"

These errors should be addressed, presumably by escaping the % character.

Justification

Although these errors don't appear to impact the translation of other strings, they should be cleared up to avoid confusion.
