Remove % on symfony translated text

Question

I'm translating some texts on symfony this way

expired.password.body: 'Dear %name% %surname%,<br><br>Your password has expired.'

and this is the translation code

$email_params = [
                'name' => $user_to_change_password->getName(),
                'surname' => $user_to_change_password->getSurname()
            ];

$body = $this->translator->trans('expired.password.body', $email_params, 'emails');

then the text is translated and the parameters are correct but the % are still in the trandlated text

Dear %foo_name% %bar_surname%

I easy to solve with str_replace but I think that I should making something wrong on the translation

Answer 1

In Symfony's translator documentation, they are pointing at the fact that the keys of the argument defining the translation parameters should actually contains the percentage:

use Symfony\Component\Translation\TranslatableMessage;

// the first argument is required and it's the original message
$message = new TranslatableMessage('Symfony is great!');
// the optional second argument defines the translation parameters and
// the optional third argument is the translation domain
$status = new TranslatableMessage('order.status', ['%status%' => $order->getStatus()], 'store');

So, your code should read:

$email_params = [
  '%name%' => $user_to_change_password->getName(),
  '%surname%' => $user_to_change_password->getSurname()
];

$body = $this->translator->trans(
  'expired.password.body', 
  $email_params, 
  'emails'
);
