Explore your area not loading properly

[StefanVanDyck]

We were having issues getting the explore-your-area page to work.
It seemed to be stuck "loading".

Debugging a little seems to indicate this is because the code never manages to load the translation messages.
Meaning it never exits this loop.

Reason is the BC_CONF global config is not updated properly.

Because in the app.js script (not sure how that is generated) the BC_CONF global is already initialized to:
{autocompleteURL: 'https://species-ws.biodiversiteitsportaal.dev.svdev.be/search/auto.json'}

And therefor this if-statement always evaluates as false.

Working on a quick-fix workaround for our purposes by just updating the BC_CONF in some extra JS script I can inject.

If you would like, I can try an open a PR with a suggestion for a fix.

Also, it might be a good idea to add some logging to the init loop, so it becomes a bit more obvious when something is wrong with the loading.

The way the BC_CONF global is being used seems a little dangerous as well.
Maybe a longer term idea could be to make it more of a read-only immutable by extracting it to a separate module that is required everywhere else. 🤷
That way the order of loading in the code should not affect the behavior.

Thank you! 🙇
