Description

**Describe the bug**

I had specter open for a few days. I clicked the red ghost to go home, and got internal server error white screen. OSX with internal specter node. The node seems to have gone offline.

```
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Research direction

Start with server_endpoints/controller.py, welcome.py, and htmlsafebabel.py, then reproduce the failure after the internal Specter node goes offline. Trace the 500.jinja lookup and Babel translation path; the issue is done when this error path no longer raises TemplateNotFound or the Babel data-files RuntimeError.
