Hi guys,

I highlighted some weird things happening on the mobile version of [forum.francaisalondres.com](http://forum.francaisalondres.com) - I was wondering if you knew what is happening.

Thanks for your help

The French texts seem to work fine here on Meta, so I don’t think it’s a problem with the French translation in general.

Based on the errors in the browser console when looking at your forum, it seems loading the additional locale files fails.

I see the same issue on Desktop (Chrome) on your forum:

I still don’t find the error between the desktop and the mobile version, any idea ?

I don’t think the issue is between desktop and mobile. For me, it’s broken on desktop too. I still think you need to fix the problem that’s causing the scripts to fail to load.

That’s not my area of expertise. I can tell you that there is an error, but I can’t fix it. I’m sure you’ll find someone in #Marketplace.

Looks like it was that the CDN url had a trailing slash.

@Jeremie_Leroy is this resolved now? If so can you explain what the fix was in the end?

What does this mean exactly? What did Jeremie have to do to fix it?

In the app.yml there was

```
  DISCOURSE_CDN_URL: https://cdn.mycdn.com/

```

That won’t work. It needed to be

```
DISCOURSE_CDN_URL: https://cdn.mycdn.com

```

This has made my life bad before. IMHO, it would be appropriate for the code to strip a trailing slash (in most places the trailing slash is better) so that you’d not be punished for having the trailing slash.

@hugh can you consider this? 👆 Makes sense to me.
