Cannot see i18n plugin with strapi 3.6.1

Hi everybody !

System Information
  • Strapi Version: 3.6.1
  • Operating System: Ubuntu
  • Database: MongoDB
  • Node Version: 12.18.1
  • NPM Version: 6.14.5

I migrated my strapi project from 3.5 to 3.6.1 just now to use your new i18n plugin.
(Thank you very much, I waited it since a long time <3)

I would like to install it but I can’t see it in the marketplace.

I’m in development mode.

Does anybody has an idea ?
Maybe I can install it from the terminal, is there any difference ?

Thank you for your help.


If you revisit/restart your server it should now be in the marketplace, sorry about that!

Ahhhhh ! I’ve got it now ! Thank you ! :blush:

But, I still have a problem “An error occur” :

I’m using pm2 to run it, do you think that could be the problem ?

Is that in production? You won’t be able to install new plugins while Strapi is running in production.

It’s running with pm2 for production but I’m using the “develop” mode for production ^^
I prefer to have the possibility to upgrade my content-types directly on my production server

Entirely your choice there but we don’t support that and absolutely don’t recommend it.

Hi DMehaffy,

Yes, I know that it’s not recommended, shame on me :cold_face:

I stopped pm2 and run it manually with in development mode using npm run develop.
It still does not work, the error log :

Do you have any idea ? :slight_smile:

Thank you for your help

I would suggest just adding the package normally

npm i --save strapi-plugin-i18n@3.6.1

Then rebuild the admin and restart the pm2 server

Oh my God ! It works !!!

Youhouhou !!!

Finally, the Terminal always wins versus the graphical solution :sweat_smile:

Thank you very much, I’m waiting this package since so long :smiley: !
Have a good day :slight_smile:
