[Bug][ FIXED ] local lemmy-ui - translations (lemmy.ml)

UPDATE: running pnpm run translations:generate (and also the other translations tasks, just to be sure) fixed the issue.

When trying to setup a local Lemmy instance (for development), the lemmy-ui repository throws an error when trying to start the dev server.

I followed the guide: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/02-local-development.html

When running pnpm dev to start the dev server, it presents me with two errors:

webpack 5.91.0 compiled with 2 errors in 14393 ms

I do see that these files nor the folder exist where I18NextService is trying to locate them. But i also see in the root a lemmy-translations folder.

I am able to get it sort of working by updating the paths in I18NextService, but i guess that is not the preferred approach.

Just a hunch, but is it possible you missed the --recursive flag when cloning the repo?

Was a theory i had as well, but copied whatever was there, and even afterwards ran git submodule init && git submodule update (from the docker install section), but all without luck.
