Making links in your theme work with Drupal localization

Searched words: 
URL a tag links linking

The name of the Agaric Design Collective member who screwed this up will go unmentioned. (The person who in the first version of this note forgot to put the print statements before the l() with t() function was me, though.)

Before:

<div class="lbutton"><a href="/findaction"><span class="buttn2">Find an Action</span></a></div>

</td>
<td>
<div class="registerbutton"><?php
global $user;
if ($user->uid==0) {
print l('<span class="buttn1">' . t('Click here to Register') . '</span>', 'user/register', array(), NULL, NULL, FALSE, TRUE);
} else {
$place = wsf_action_user_place($user->uid);
print l('<span class="buttn1">' . t('See actions in ') . '<br />' . $place->name . '</span>', 'place/' . $place->tid, array(), NULL, NULL, FALSE, TRUE);
}
?>
</div>
</td>
<td>
<div class="donatebutton"><a href="/donate"><span class="buttn4">Support WSF</span></a></div>
</td>

After:

<div class="lbutton"><?php
print l('<span class="buttn2">' . t('Find an Action')
. '</span>', 'findaction', array(), NULL, NULL, FALSE, TRUE);
?></div>

</td>
<td>
<div class="registerbutton"><?php
global $user;
if ($user->uid==0) {
print l('<span class="buttn1">' . t('Click here to Register') . '</span>', 'user/register', array(), NULL, NULL, FALSE, TRUE);
} else {
$place = wsf_action_user_place($user->uid);
print l('<span class="buttn1">' . t('See actions in ') . '<br />' . $place->name . '</span>', 'place/' . $place->tid, array(), NULL, NULL, FALSE, TRUE);
}
?></div>
</td>
<td>
<div class="donatebutton"><?php
print l('<span class="buttn4">' . t('Support WSF')
. '</span>', 'donate', array(), NULL, NULL, FALSE, TRUE);
?></div>
