POEdit with Custom mu-plugins code

I’m not 100% sure this is the only issue that was preventing POEdit from correctly parsing my code (I’m not sure it actually cares about the WordPress side of things), but fixing these (stupid) errors and re-running POEdit from the .pot file below seems to have generated the correct translation strings:

define( 'MY_TEXTDOMAIN', 'MY_TEXTDOMAIN' );
function load_mu_plugin_textdomain(){
    load_plugin_textdomain( MY_TEXTDOMAIN, false, plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) );
}
add_action( 'muplugins_loaded', 'load_mu_plugin_textdomain' );

Changed from my original post:

muplugins_loaded instead of plugins-loaded (which is not an action anyway: plugins_loaded is the correct action hook – note the underscore instead of the dash).

plugin_dir_path() instead of the typo: plugin_dit_path()

Here’s the updated .pot file that I loaded and then generated a new translation for:
