pg 13 fatal error message mentionning "standby_mode"

Hi,

I had forgotten to include a restore_command and my standby database did not start (expected behavior) but the error message puzzled me :

select version();

                                                      version

It's in French but it means I have to specify restore_command if standby_mode is not activated.

It's a pg 13 cluster and standby_mode parameter was removed with pg 12+ ? Perhaps the French translation is wrong ?

The translation is wrong. The original message is "must specify restore_command when standby mode is not enabled". There's no underscore between standby and mode, so it isn't the parameter. I must have missed that change during the translation. I'll fix it right away.
