Dataset joelito/mc4_legal does not work with multiple files
Author: JoelNiklaus
State: closed

### Describe the bug

The dataset https://huggingface.co/datasets/joelito/mc4_legal works for languages like bg with a single data file, but not for languages with multiple files like de. It shows zero rows for the de dataset.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

import datasets
from datasets import load_dataset, get_dataset_config_names

language = "bg"

test = load_dataset("joelito/mc4_legal", language, split='train')

### Expected behavior

It should display the correct number of rows for the de dataset which should be a large number (thousands or more).
