Adding a link inside translated content in Twig template

Question

Inside a Twig template I would need to have a translated text that contains a link (the path should be generated by the Router, not statically embedded). Twig does not allow to

Answer 1

The approach I've taken is this:

In the translation file:

page.privacy.policy: Please read our %link_start%privacy policy%link_end%

In the twig file:

{{ 'page.privacy.policy' | trans({'%link_start%' : '', '%link_end%' : ''}, 'account') | raw }}

I'm not sure if this can be done using the block syntax you mentioned above as I found it didn't work unless I piped the result of the translation through the 'raw' filter. Also I use message domains to split the translations, hence the 'account' parameter.

I think the closest to your example would be:

{{ 'Please read our %link_start%privacy policy%link_end%' | trans({'%link_start%' : '', '%link_end%' : ''}) | raw }}

EDIT:

The only issue with this approach I've come across is where I need to programmatically follow a translated link in a unit test as there isn't a single translation representing the link text. Although messy I think it would be possible to get round this by providing a separate translation for the link text and substituting it's translated value into the full text as an additional variable.
