Description:
I discovered this issue when the pacman directive "TotalDownload" was removed with pacman-6.

If you have this now unsupported directive enabled, the German message says:

$ pacman -Q pacman
Warnung: Konfigurations-Datei /etc/pacman.conf, Zeile 35: Direktive »%« in Sektion »TotalDownload« wird nicht erkannt.
pacman 6.0.0-2

Whereas the original English message says:

$ LANG=C pacman -Q pacman
warning: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 35: directive 'TotalDownload' in section 'options' not recognized.
pacman 6.0.0-2

I did not yet look into the source code, but there seems to be some format string being off.
The "%" should not be there and should contain "TotalDownload", while the "TotalDownload" part should contain the section "options".

Additional info:
* pacman-6.0.0-2

Steps to reproduce:
* Set locale to de_DE.UTF-8
* Add directive TotalDownload to /etc/pacman.conf
* Run any pacman command.
This task depends upon

Yeah, there was an "s" missing:

Pacman has its own project bugtracker, not the "Packages:Core" tracker for reporting bugs about the PKGBUILD used to build it.

No idea who is on the translation team here, but you could try joining.
