Server error on translation starting with É

Hello

I asked this question on the developpers section, but you might also have an hint on this

I started the translation for Last Droids.

One of the ressources in the game is Nut (as in a bolt, screw, nut). The french word for that is Écrou.

When I perform an ressource trade, a message should be displayed in the log saying "<playerName> swaps 2 Oil for 1 Nut".
When I do it in english, no problem

But when I play in French, I have the following error (both in red in the message bar on the top and in the log):
"Le serveur a signalé une erreur."

What can I do? (except put an E instead of an É, which is not that satisfying)

Note that there are other sentences with the word Écrou, and they work fine. It seems that only when the word should be displayed in the log that there is an error.

Thanks

I can't find this game on BGA. I guess you are talking about this one: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/438 ... s/versions? I assume it is in private alpha state. You shouldn't be able to play an alpha game in any other language than english. Alpha games are usually not open for translation, but they were for some time due to an incident in february and march. I suggest to postpone any analysis or bug report until the game is transferred to beta and legally translatable.

Yes, it is this game, and it is in private alpha.

However I can see this game in the translation HQ (as developper), I started to translate, and some translations (but not all of them) are already there in alpha version

Ok, I can wait for beta, which whould be available beggining of September

I noticed that I have the same problem with Energy => Énergie, though
