Translate ACF fields in plugin with custom PO / MO

I try to make my first WP plugin.
I have included some lines from ACF into the SPOT-plugin.php that contain my plugin.

I have made som PO / MO-files with Norwegian language for a plugin. SPOT-plugin.
The line I want to include in the translations is this:
‘label’ => __(‘Please type the text here’, ‘spot-plugin’),
‘instructions’ => __(‘Max 100 characters’, ‘spot-plugin’),

The text: ‘Please type the text here’ is the one I want to change with some a line from the PO / MO-file.
The text: ‘Max 100 characters’ is the other line I want to change.

I want to include this language files into the plugin so I don`t need to also have Polylang og Loco installed.

See code below.
What is wrong ? why can`t the code pickup the lines from the MO-files.

<?php
* Text domain: spot-plugin

function spotplugin_init() {
load_plugin_textdomain( ‘spot-plugin’, false, dirname(plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ) . ‘/languages’ );
}
add_action( ‘plugins_loaded’, ‘spotplugin_init’ );

/*
* ———————————- *
* Advanced Custom Fields
* ———————————- *
*/
// Define path and URL to the ACF plugin.
define( ‘SPOT_PATH’, plugin_dir_path(__FILE__). ‘/includes/acf/’ );
define( ‘SPOT_URL’, plugin_dir_URL(__FILE__) . ‘/includes/acf/’ );

// Include the ACF plugin.
include_once( SPOT_PATH . ‘acf.php’ );

// Customize the url setting to fix incorrect asset URLs.
add_filter(‘acf/settings/url’, ‘SPOT_settings_url’);
function SPOT_settings_url( $url ) {
return SPOT_URL;
}

// (Optional) Hide the ACF admin menu item.
add_filter(‘acf/settings/show_admin’, ‘SPOT_settings_show_admin’);
function SPOT_settings_show_admin( $show_admin ) {
return true;
}
