How can I insert variables into translated sentences?

Hi, I was asking myself the same question but regarding to anchors.

Before adding internationalization to my web I had the following string:

Code:

"...is called <strong>&lt;?php echo anchor('www.cnn.com', 'CNN'); ?&gt;</strong>.  It's a..."

Now it won't work when included into:

Code:

$lang['home_dilemma_intro'] = "...is called <strong>&lt;?php echo anchor('www.cnn.com', 'CNN'); ?&gt;</strong>.  It's a...";

How can I keep my anchors when translating the text?

Thanks in advanced,
