I noticed that gtt does not translate anything inside an href attribute, so what I did was to pre-process my .po file (using a "copy" grunt task) by changing {{my_expr}} type strings to

Here is my grunt copy task config showing the regular expressions I used:

    copy: {
   
      fixupPoFileForTranslation: {
        src: [],   // Fill in src and dest!
        dest: '',  
        options : {
          process: function (content, srcpath) {

            return content.replace(/"Go page"/g, '"Go"')
            // Change handlebars {{}} to  to stop
            // machine translation from translating them.
            return content.replace(/(\{\{[a-zA-Z_\$].*?\}\})/g, '')
              // Same thing for our js .format {0}, {1}, ...
                          .replace(/(\{\d*?\})/g, '');
          }
        }
      },

      fixupPoFileForMerge: {
        src: [],
        dest: '',
        options : {
          process: function (content, srcpath) {

            // Restore }}
            return content..replace(/|)/gi, '$1')
            // Same thing for {0} constructs
                          .replace(/|)/gi, '$1');
          }
        }
      }
    }
