What did you do?

I was trying to create translations for my Go (fiber) project, at first I thought this was an issue related to Fiber.
So I created a new empty project, started all over (without Fiber), and got the same error.

The tutorial I was following: https://www.alexedwards.net/blog/i18n-managing-translations

Then I realised that I've updated Go last week, so I downgraded my Go version to 1.17, and everything worked again.
What I saw when I my Go version was at 1.18:

panic: in crypto/sha256.Sum224: cannot convert slice t0[:] ([]byte) to *[28]byte

How to reproduce?

This is the repo for my project: https://github.com/Joris1Jansen/SimpleNotesApi/tree/GOLANG-ISSUE_WITH_GOTEXT
Please, don't look at the complete mess of my code, this is a project I'm trying out all new things I want to learn.

The current version in go.mod is 1.17, so everything should work now.

go generate ./locale/locale.go

Should return something like:

de-DE: Missing entry for "Welcome!".                                                                                                  
fr-CH: Missing entry for "Welcome!". 

BUT, if we upgrade to go version 1.18

go generate ./locale/locale.go

We get a big output, but the main isseu:

panic: in crypto/sha256.Sum224: cannot convert slice t0[:] ([]byte) to *[28]byte

I hope that this is enough information, this is my first time opening an issue/bug. So feel free to provide me with any feedback to learn from for the next time.

Cheers
