Translation

A BAD example of adding translation to a string w/ variables.

There is no need to translate HTML <a href="%1$s" rel="tag">%2$s</a>.

<?php
printf(
  __( '<a href="%1$s" rel="tag">%2$s</a>', 'text-domain' ),
  esc_url( wpcom_vip_get_term_link( $tag->term_id, $tag->taxonomy ) ),
  esc_html( $tag->name )
);
?>

An example of using sprintf for translating variables.

sprintf( __( '%1$s', 'text-domain' ), esc_html( $tag ) )
