I think this approach to the problem is going to be unworkable down the road. I think much of what we are translating manually here (the nav buttons, the pagination options, etc) needs to be translated by the google translate widget...we are not going to do if/then statements for every language we support, right?

Yes you're right. I think we can only do some of the English-French translation manually for some of text. For other languages, we can use google translate.

Note also: to the extent that we do store different texts for different languages, there is Django's built-in internationalization protocol: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/topics/i18n/.
