quick frontend (app): call `getReady` once connected to bridge:
namespaces and encryption plugins are only retrieved once backend is ready, else they may
not yet be available (can happen notably when the backend is start at the same time as the

10 - then to start a new translation, copy i18n/sat.pot to your language file, e.g. cd i18n; cp sat.pot fr.po |
