I’ve been able to add a new menu item to the admin dashboard, but for some reason it’s not catching my translation.

Instead of the menu item with the right text, I see:

```plaintext
[nl.myplugin.admin.menu_title]

```

My translation file `plugins/myplugin/config/locales/client.nl.yml` looks like this:

```plaintext
nl:
  js:
    myplugin:  
      dummy: "Hey dummy!"
      admin:
        menu_title: "Menu title"
        page_title: "Page title"

```

Anything I’m doing wrong?

I usually have to clear out the `tmp` folder in my discourse project folder in order for it to catch my translations.
