Hi Daniel,

Your issue is a simple one and relatively hard to see if you're not
careful.

This is an empty group thanks to the  ^ slash at the end.

The translate does not apply to the line below, because it's not in the
group.

When I tried loading just the SVG in Chrome, it reported the first
trailing, unmatched '</g>' as an error. The problem was clear from
there.
