Here's a partial fix for this bug. It changes the log messages so that
they're saved in the database in English and then parsed and translated
when they need to be displayed. However, due to the way the change
messages were written upon being entered into the database, I wasn't able
to properly distinguish between different types of save messages. For
example, if an object (for example, a Poll or Choice) contained a period
or quotation marks in the body, I could not tell the difference between
the end of the message and the punctuation within the message body. So I'm
only submitting a partial fix. From what I could test, it works pretty
well for Users. I was also having some trouble getting certain words to
translate.
If having history messages displayed in different languages is a priority,
I would recommend restructuring the logging functionality entirely, and
have the messages be saved in an unambiguously delimited format (yaml?
json? something!) so that they can be formed into translatable sentences
after they are extracted from the database. I would be willing to work on
this if an issue gets made!
