How can I use a link in string to translate at Magento 2?

Question

In Magento 1 I use this code:

<?php echo $this->__('some <a href="%s">text here</a>', Mage::getUrl('some/url/here')); ?>

How can I use in Magento 2?

Answer 1

Your solution might look something like this:

<a href="<?php echo $block->escapeUrl($this->getBaseUrl().'customer/address/');?>">
   <?php echo $block->escapeHtml(__('Street Address %1', $_i)); ?>
</a>

All URLs and translated content should be escaped to prevent XSS. Also, HTML tags shouldn't be translated.

Also, you can wrap this code by an own method.

Answer 2

HTML code should not be used directly in a translation string, instead use a placeholder (i.e. %1) to represent it, and put it's value in a subsequent parameter to the translation method.

<?= __('some %1text here%2', '<a href="' . $block->getUrl('some/url/here') .'">', '</a>') ?>

The Magento core team uses this approach throughout their code base.

For example in...

vendor/magento/module-catalog/view/frontend/templates/product/list/toolbar/amount.phtml

Answer 3

Use like this

<?= __('Street Address %1', $_i) ?>

or

<?= __('Customer address <a href="%s">link</a>!', $this->getBaseUrl().'customer/address/') ?>

The string in the CSV file should have double quotes:

"Customer address <a href=""%s"">link</a>!"
