client cannot load translation file #6

This is the log line:

Client: Don't know how to load file "de.po"

It targets de, because that's my client locale. I assume the others are also affected. I don't know what's wrong with the file, maybe because it's in a subfolder? Maybe because the files have odd-looking \n in their values?

Note the \n:

Thanks for reporting this issue. I'll fix it in the next update.

The .po files in Leads do not follow Luanti's naming convention, as they predate gettext support and are intended to be converted to .tr. Since Luanti added gettext support in 5.10, the client tries to load the converted files directly, causing the warning.

For now, you can fix it locally by deleting the poconvert folder inside leads/locale. This shouldn't affect the German translation.
