What would be the best way to indicate that values should be entered in percents?
Or do we even need to indicate, maybe a tool tip could do it?

The original version

  tr("Value %1:")

did not have a proper sense, because there was no argument given in order to specify what %1 is replaced by.

The second one is more consistent

  tr("Value (in %):")

There was indeed a confusion in the earlier version of the translation. New translation makes clearly an improve here.

IMHO,

  tr("Value (%):")

should contain all relevant data. This format is used in a mathematical context for brevity.
Compare, for example, "Duration (min):" or "Length (m):".

Best wishes,

Heikki (still lurking here)

  tr("Value (%):")

Fixed that
