Odd interaction with Discourse and Google Translate

It looks like this affects all Ember apps. For example, even Ember’s own documentation app

It looks like Google is proxying the site, injecting some Javascript, and injecting a <base> tag. We might be able to detect Google’s hacks and workaround the 404 issue… but I very much doubt any complex JS app like Discourse will work well through Google’s proxy.

A workaround is to use the translate functionality built in browsers (either native, or via an extension). Those do not have the same proxying/injecting behavior.
