  I have a piece of hyperlinked like this:

  The speaker will be John Doe, from Suchandsuchh University in MadeupLand.
  
  I need to change the text because my site is multilingual. When I paste text, for example the French version of the University name, inside the hyperlinked text, it gets pasted twice. Result:
  
  The speaker will be John Doe, de l’université Suchandsuch de l’université SuchandSuch in MadeupLand.
  
  This only occurs with hyperlinked text.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Correction: it happens with regular text as well.
