The guide above is about the BTS product, not IOS.

To my knowledge, % is not used in translation rules.

Just to add to Paolo's note

Note Wildcard symbols such as the period (.), asterisk (*), percent sign (%), plus sign (+), and question mark (?) are not valid in translation rules. The router simply ignores these symbols when converting a number if they are used in a translation rule.

appreciate your link and quote, but I got this doc from Cisco:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk90/technologies_tech_note09186a0080325e8e.shtml

it has no reference to %, but it does say * is valid, however from Javalenc's link, * is invalid??!! same with the period "."   Is this because one is voice translation rule and the other is translation rule? I thought they do the same job, just voice translation rule is newer feature.

just found another doc that has % in translation rules ( towards the end of it):

Even Cisco documents may contain errors.

You can use the feedback form on the left to notify Cisco and have it corrected.
