Hi @martin  
Thank you so much for the update. It works. 💐  
Just wondering about the translation. Now both seem to have “leave channel”. Are they both using `js.chat.channel_settings.leave_channel`?  
I think differentiating would be useful. So one can be “close” and the other can be “leave channel”.
