In your screenshot, the de folder is not in the lang folder.

I've made a screenshot from the wrong folder, it was a backup. I've changed the screenshot.
Thanks for your hint.

Confirmed. I think this will be down to the fact Statamic allows to translate the collection name's. If a collection translation existed, it would get a string, otherwise it would fallback to the name of the collection.

However, what's happening here is that Laravel is looking up the translation for the collection name and getting an array, which the code isn't expecting, causing that exception to be thrown.

I'm not really sure if there's a great way to work around this (other than naming the language file something else). I'll let the Team decide on what the best approach is for this.
