--- Comment #9 from Chris Steipp <[email protected]> ---
This is something of a bug/feature of google translate. Google gets the html
from the site (anonymously) and presents that html in an iframe on
googleusercontent.com. Since you're not logged in, the javascript on the page
(running in the googleusercontent.com domain) pings loginwiki and the target
wiki and, and "logs in" to the target wiki (even though you're actually already
logged in..). After that succeeds, that javascript replaces the html div with
your username, which it can do on googleusercontent's html since it's same
domain.

Unfortunately for Carolina, we use the preferences for the target wiki when the
login protocol runs, and as she mentioned, the default preference there is to
enable https, and we set the forceHTTPS cookie at that point.

So unfortunately, the only way to get around this for Carolina is to update the
preference across wikis.
