«Please wait...» spinner text is untranslatable on admin pages (and my fix)

See the code:

magento/magento2/blob/c44030538ccf5fa00443628a2d599f5962f5c802/lib/web/mage/loader_old.js#L29


}
}(this, function ($, mageTemplate) {
'use strict';


$.widget('mage.loader', {
    loaderStarted: 0,
    spinner: $(undefined),
    options: {
        icon: '',
        texts: {
            loaderText: $.mage.__('Please wait...'),
            imgAlt: $.mage.__('Loading...')
        },
        template: '<div class="loading-mask" data-role="loader">' +
            '<div class="popup popup-loading">' +
            '<div class="popup-inner">' +
            '<% if (data.icon) { %><img <% if (data.texts.imgAlt) { %>alt="<%- data.texts.imgAlt %>"<% } %> src="<%- data.icon %>"><% } %>' +
            '<% if (data.texts.loaderText) { %><%- data.texts.loaderText %><% } %>' +
            '</div>' +
            '</div>' +
            '</div>'

The widget mage.loader calls the translator:

loaderText: $.mage.__('Please wait...'),

But the translator dictionary is not loaded yet at this poing and the translator call is useless.
