Hi!

I'm the maintainer of the toc-org (https://github.com/snosov1/toc-org)
package. With 8.3 I have noticed a regression in how org-translate-link
function works.

In this package, toc-org, I use org-link-translation-function variable to
make C-c C-o (org-open-at-point) work with GitHub-style links. To do this,
I set the aforementioned org-link-translation-function variable to a
function that translates GitHub-style links back to Org-style.

It was working fine in Org 8.2, but it doesn't work in Org 8.3.

I believe the root cause is the following. Here's the code of the
org-translate-link function:

(defun org-translate-link (s)
  "Translate a link string if a translation function has been defined."
  (if (and org-link-translation-function
  (fboundp org-link-translation-function)
  (string-match "\\([a-zA-Z0-9]+\\):\\(.*\\)" s))
      (progn
(setq s (funcall org-link-translation-function
(match-string 1 s) (match-string 2 s)))
(concat (car s) ":" (cdr s)))
    s))

Consider that we're trying to follow the link [[#about][About]]

In Org 8.2 org-translate-link function is called with s equal to
"thisfile:#about". So, (string-match "\\([a-zA-Z0-9]+\\):\\(.*\\)" s)
returns true and the call to the function stored in
org-link-translation-function follows.

In Org 8.3 org-translate-link function is called with s equal to simply
"#about" (no "thisfile:" in the beginning). Thus, the string-match call
NEVER succeeds (because there's no colon).

Please, let me know, what would be the solution to this issue.
