For example, if %(person)s is the original, the spanish translated version might erroneously include %(persona)s. If that's being blocktrans'd in your base template, it'll crash your whole spanish site. Translators work separately to template writers, and are generally less technical. Mistakes happen. They are minor and shouldn't bring sites down. Especially with tools like django-rosetta in their hands. IMHO, the default behaviour here should be to ignore (or perhaps throw a warning) on improperly formatted translation strings."
