OK, this explains the break. The file shows four brackets on the left of
Labels and 3 brackets on the right. This is malformed and will produce an
error.
[[[[Labels]]]
km_per_hour = km/h
BTW, besides adding the bracket, which would have fixed the broken
installation; you want to put the km/h in quotes and add a leading space.
km_per_hour = “ km/h”
