I am using translation.en.yml in twig.

What I want to do is very simple ,please check the code below.

{{ "message.thxContactUs" | trans({'%username%' : "myName"})}}

in my translation.en.yml

message: 
    thxContactUs: Dear {{username}} thank you for contacting us

however this out put is

Dear {{username}} thank you for contacting us

however it doesn't work, please could anyone correct this code??

The way you pass your variable from twig should match in your translation file as well. Change `{{username}}` with `%username%` — Artamiel, Jul 06 '15 at 10:19
Keep in mind that using `% ... %` is just a convention. It's followed by most Symfony developers and it's recommended to use that format, but if you don't like it, you can change it. In your example, you could use `{{ "message.thxContactUs" | trans({'{{username}}' : "myName"}) }}` and it should work perfectly. — Javier Eguiluz, Jul 06 '15 at 15:47
Thanks I will obey the standard way though, it is good knowledge for me. — whitebear, Jul 07 '15 at 10:38
