ERROR - Cannot read: homepagetrans.js 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

This is a very simple reproduction of the problem.

I have the latest version of the closure compiler,
This worked in an older version of the closure compiler.

If I shorten the string length of the first parameters to the function then I can run closure.
However, the closure compiler does not like these really long strings.
Resulting is a messages that does not make any sense "ERROR - Cannot read: "

Thanks,
Peter

These were my parameters
