Hi,  
I am trying internationalisation following [Internationalisation : Node-RED (nodered.org)](https://nodered.org/docs/creating-nodes/i18n), here is how I did,

step 1:  
in /app/nod\_red/lower\_case/locales/en-US, added lower-case.json, with content:

```auto
{
        "lower-case" : {
                "help-text" : "A simple node that converts the message payloads into all lower-case character"
        }
}

```

and `/app/nod_red/lower_case` is the node directory.

step 2  
in lower-cas.js which in `/app/nod_red/lower_case`, added code

```auto
 node.log(RED._("lower-case.help-text"));

```

it showed the help text correctly.

step 3  
in lower-cas.html which in `/app/nod_red/lower_case`, changed help node to

```auto
<script type="text/html" data-help-name="lower-case">
    <p data-i18n="lower-case.help-text"></p>
</script>

```

restarted node red, refreshed browser, and found the help text was not shown in browser.

Could someone help?
