I have a string in my plugin which looks like this:

Code:

<span %(code)s>@{@</span> and <span %(code)s>@}@</span>

but when I try to translate it in transifex (just replace "and" with "y"), I get this error:

Error: The expression '{@ y @}' is not present in the original phrase.

Why is this happening? there are other strings with literal { and } which are not affected. Is there any way to avoid this (other than moving @{@ and @}@ out of the translatable string)?
