fix(i18n): prevent incorrect logging on strings missing in JSON locales (#7594)

Fixes https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/7591
Followup to https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/6203

When the test runs without an actual fix included, an error message appears in the logs:
[E] Missing translation "incorrect_root_url"

With it, it does not.
