as the title says i can't figure out why my strings.po aren't working (I'm on this for days now)

code:
Github repo

i don't get any error message but my strings are blank,
the logs say nothing unusual.
except i don't see my language loaded like this:
"LocalizeStrings: loaded 3 strings from file /home/lord/.kodi/addons/script.module.web-pdb/resources/language/resource.language.en_gb/strings.po"

I'm pretty much out of ideas, so PLEASE help me.

P.S
 sorry for the bad English i am not a native speaker

python:
addon = xbmcaddon.Addon()

set_label(addon.getLocalizedString(62001))

addon = xbmcaddon.Addon()
locstr = addon.getLocalizedString(62002)
xbmc.log('String 62002 is: ' + str(locstr), xbmc.LOGINFO)

The result was:

2020-10-18 07:27:51.371 T:15032    INFO <general>: String 62002 is:

This confirms it isn't getting the string from the strings.po file but the debug file doesn't show anything.  I compared your code against an addon I maintain and even replaced your language folder with mine and it still didn't work.  I don't see anything obvious which is causing this.  Maybe one of the Kodi team members or someone more experienced than me in this space can look at it.  Sorry I can't help more.  I am curious too now what the issue is.

python:
getLocalizedString()

should produce an error message if no data is found in the path.

Possibly only the first time it is loaded in order to save computing time.
This would help future developers to recognize the problem.

what to you think about this @jbinkley60 ?

I don't want to make an issue for this, is there a "future request" thread for that kind of thing?

It reports:
"INFO: PO files are valid"

even if the path is broken, so i think the checker should also raise an error.
