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:
ERROR in ./src/shared/services/I18NextService.ts 14:0-40

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.
So what you want to know is: if i have a very negative attitude towards Italian people, can i support my wife in putting as much tabasco on her pizza?
