Multi-lingual support is broken #6

Open tgherzog opened 4 years ago

tgherzog commented 4 years ago

It turns out that the "advanced" API endpoints aren't designed to support multi-lingual. The features returned by these endpoints apparently come from a different set of back-end tables than the older endpoints.

Older endpoints (with multi-lingual support)

Beta endpoints (no multi-lingual support)

I'm wondering if at this point it's not possible to support both multiple databases and multiple languages without doing some heavy kludging
