Fixes
When embedded Cascade stories are viewed on an iOS device the reader now sees the cover page and a link that opens the story in a new tab. Previously embedded Cascade stories appeared broken on iOS

Changing the scroll speed for text panels from slow to fast for slides in an Immersive Section within Story Map Cascade makes all text panels in the other slides disappear (BUG-000105269)
Credit hyperlink text matches link color in other parts of the story
Several issues with internationalization have been addressed
