Describe the bug
Trying to run multiple instances (for github.com and some ghe), I was following the documentation:
You can create an export of the current translations by running the binary with the --export-translations flag.
This flag will preserve any translations/overrides you have made, while adding any new translations that have been added to the binary since the last time you exported.
./github-mcp-server --export-translations
cat github-mcp-server-config.json
Running it, errors and does not generate the relevant translation file.
