taxonomy translation makes original name (before translation) unavailable [#824696]

When I have i18nviews installed - and get taxonomy: term (using views) - the [name] is translated which is fine for display - but I also need to create a link to this taxonomy (using taxonomy term, not tid) - and that link needs the original (untranslated) name to work :(

I'd suggest that when i18nviews translated [name] (and others) - it also adds an [name_orig] or similar.

The actual problem is that the field handler changes the values retrieved by the Views query. See i18nviews_handler_field_taxonomy_term_name::pre_render():

  function pre_render(&$values) {
    foreach ($values as $key => $value) {
      if (isset($value->{$this->field_alias})) {
        $term = new stdClass();
        $term->tid = $this->get_value($value, 'tid');
        $term->vid = $this->get_value($value, 'vid');
        $term->name = $this->get_value($value);
        $values[$key]->{$this->field_alias} = i18n_taxonomy_term_name($term);
      }
    }

It shouldn't change the original value, instead it should render the translated value in the render() method. Attached is a patch that fixes this for the term name.

Probably other stuff needs fixing as well, like the term description.
