[1.18.2] Unable to use '%' sign in localization strings with placeholders

[H4kt]

I've added a string to my lang my as follows:

{
  "gui.<modid>.test": "Test percent sign {0}%%",
}

I'm then trying to render that string in a menu screen as follows:

override fun render(
  stack: PoseStack,
  mouseX: Int,
  mouseY: Int,
  delta: Float
) {
	
  font.draw(
    stack,
    TranslatableComponent("gui.<modid>.test", 10)
    x, y
    1
  )
    
}

However this akwardly results in string being rendered as: Test percent sign {0}%
Is there any way to get percent sign to work with placeholders?

wrong tabulation

You can try to use a backsplash before the %, or you add the % when creating the TranslatableComponent.

Translatable components only support String substitutions/formatting and minecraft uses the java.util.Formatter format.

Your lang file should look something like:

Test percent sign %s%%

Test percent sign %s%%

Formatting like {n} also works, but not with percentage sign
Replacing {0} with %s seems to work
Thank you for your help
