Good day everyone, I work with Parks Canada in Halifax, a Federal organization that manages and protects 43 national parks in Canada. We are using Zooniverse for the first time as a pilot, to get people helping us count seals on Sable Island National Park Reserve and increases awareness and education around Sable Island and Parks Canada. For every project or initiative we unfold to the public, we are mandated to offer them in both English and French, Canada's official languages. I managed to use the translation tool for all the content we have have created for our project, however, there are some headers and subtitles living on zooniverse platform that are not translated. Since that side of the site resides with web developers, I was wondering if there would be a way to let them know about some glitches? Like the team section is not translated, nor the roles collaborators can play. Also, we do have two facebook accounts (one in french, one in English). Is there a way we can add an other facebook link to the list of social media platforms we are using? Thank you for the information!

And, as Canada prepares for a national election in October, Elections Canada has just declared that anyone talking / publishing about climate change must register as a 3rd-party agent if they spend more than $500 because (SURPRISE!) Elections Canada has decided that climate change is a partisan issue (ya think?). This has the potential to shut down the climate change info coming out of NGOs with charitable status, such as Environmental Defense, etc, since breaking the "law" could cost them their charitable status which is essential for fundraising.
