its very important to escape the output. (security basics)

$html = sprintf('<b>%s</b>', htmlspecialchars($lang['text']));

What you want is called string interpolation (read about how it works for PHP).

Your particular example would be solved using

$html = "<b></b> {$lang['text']}";

String interpolation only happens in double quoted string ("string here").

Use string concatenations like this:

$html = '<b></b>' . $lang['text'];

or insert variable in double quoted string like this:

$html = "<b></b>${lang['text']}";

both versions are correct, use the one that you like.

You can't switch from "Output raw text mode" to "Run PHP code mode" in the middle of a string while you are already in "Run PHP code mode"

$html = "<b></b> ${lang['text']}";

… although why you want an empty bold element is beyond me.

<?php

$html = '<b>'.$lang['text'].'</b>';

?>
