How to give href links in custom modules for multilingual site?

Question

I've created a custom module,having a href links like follows.

Let's say the following link appears on example.com/somepage/another-page/nid

t('<p><a class="stn" href="/my-page">Back to My Page</a></p>');

The above links works by default but it won't work if user is in Spanish version (example.com/es/somepage/another-page/nid).

If user click on the link it redirects to default lang version (example.com/my-page)

I tried $GLOBALS['base_url'] but it doesn't work in this case.

So my question is how can I give href link for multilingual? Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Consider using example.com instead of commercial website in your content, please. — Mołot, Sep 30, 2014 at 9:46
@Mołot Thanks for the suggestion I've changed it. Infact mydomain.com is not ours.I didn't know that domain exists :) — Krishna Mohan, Sep 30, 2014 at 10:00

You have a mistake in your code.

Wrong:

t('<p><a class="stn" href="/my-page">Back to My Page</a></p>');

Correctly

'<p>' . l(t('Back to My Page'), 'my-page', array('attributes' => array('class' => array('stn')))) . '</p>';

For more information see function l();

I see we both used the same code snippet from the same api docs page :D

Yes, thanks for that but that didn't resolve my problem. If user is in Spanish version that redirects to example.com/my-page instead of example.com/es/my-page

Simply use l function:

l(t('Back to My Page'), 'my-page', array('attributes' => array('class' => array('whatever-class-you-need-if-any))));

It is there to take care about all that irritating details for you.

Molot are you sure that it works on Spanish version too? Am I missing something?

@KrishnaMohan it should preserve your language, and allow Drupal configuration to happen - if you configured Drupal to direct users to content in their current language, then it will (or, at least, should).
