Alternatively, something along the lines of T("To %(link1) or %(link2) to be") % {'link1' : A(T("be"), _href="..."), 'link2' : A(T("not"), _href="...")}
might also work if you really want to keep the helpers for some reason. Note that you probably don't want to do T() on single words as they have a high chance of overlapping (for example "be" is not likely to have a uniform translation in most languages). While tedious,in such cases you should use a prefix and a dictonary for your base language, too (since we don't have domains like gettext).
