Here is the manifest content (loaded by the browser when I open the app served by SAP Gateway):

@sebasgoldberg The manifest looks fine and should be unrelated. Could you provide the following files:

• ui5.yaml
• i18n.properties
• i18n.properties (after the build, as created for the dist)
• the “i18n.properties line” from the component-preload.js
