    Here are some more detail:
    We are dealing with an activity stream that is translated so that all participants can read all comments in both English and French. Our issue is only with longer comments that are automatically abbreviated and need to be clicked (“read more”) on to read in their entirety.

    We have found that these comments can be translated by opening them in a new window or tab.

    However, even after translating them completely, reading them in both languages is not possible. Here is what we observed:

    If the original comment is in French and you are reading it in English and click on “read more”, the page reloads and loads only the comment so you can read it in its entirety. You then need to use the back button to navigate back to the activity stream (not ideal but not a problem).

    If the original comment is in English and you are reading it in French and click on “en afficher daventage” (“read more”), the whole comment opens up in the the same page but in English. French speakers are not able to read it. This is a problem for us.

    We hope that you can address this issue soon. Our international seminar on ebola is supposed to start on the 28th and we will attempt to have everything readable in both languages.

    This was fixed by using the on_init() function to capture the call and setting the proper language. Editing is still not available after that, but this mostly fixed this issue.
