Hi jpotthast,

Sorry for the inconvenience.  The issue is that Google Chrome has it's
own built-in translation feature, for all webpages, which conflicts
somewhat with the Translation Element code that you embedded on your
site.  This is causing the click-through translation not to work
correctly.

We're working on a fix for this, so stay tuned and we should get it
working again.

Thanks for the feedback.

Best,
Josh Estelle
