Best way to place hard coded link in template in multi lingual drupal 8

Question

My website (drupal 8) was first in one language. Now I switched to multi langual.

Most of the settings i did find (translate content, webforms, strings,...).

But at the moment stuck on the hard coded links I use in the template (theming).

So I'm looking for the best way to let my hard coded links work for more languages.

At this moment this is what i got (and ofcourse this is not working well):

<h4><a href="/node/100">{{ 'DIENSTEN ON SITE'|t }}</a></h4>

This link doesn't bring the visitor to the correct link (en/ or fr/ is missing). Translate on the string works already :).

My current settings for detections are visible in the image:

Answer 1

For translated links you can use the path function

<a href="{{ path('entity.node.canonical', {'node': '100'}) }}"> {{ 'DIENSTEN ON SITE'|t }}</a>

Answer 2

Use a route name and parameters to generate the url. In Twig for example with path():

{# Link to node page. #}
<a href="{{ path('entity.node.canonical', {'node': node.id}) }}">{{ 'View node page'|t }}</a>

Then outbound path processing can apply the configured language detection methods.
