When I change the relative path for the My Posts sidebar item (from `/my/activity` to `/my/messages`), the My Post menu item loses its translation.

I tried to play with the `/admin/customize/site_texts/js.sidebar.sections.community.links.my_posts.content?locale=[mylocale]` parameter, thinking that modifying it would make it translated again just like [in this solution on another topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/trust-level-badge-change-causes-related-title-to-un-translate/342109/3), but it doesn’t.

Only when I revert the path back to the original one, is it translated again. So basically I cannot customize the path without losing the translation.
