Suppose i find it here https://github.com/strapi/strapi-plugin-seo/blob/main/admin/src/components/SeoPage/Info/index.js#L10
But, i still think, code in article still is not properly clear or not full, but @commentsBot thanks!

Hello @Pilot5443 :wave:

Good catch! I mainly use formatMessage to handle localization. This would require also to have the getTrad function but it’s not really necessary here so I’ll remove it from the article.

Youtube series tutorial would be great and there would be a lot more plugins.

Hi ! Thanks for this tutorial, just FYI, there is a typo in this command line (at the beginning of the tutorial) :

# npm
npx create-straOi-app my-project --quickstart

Should be

# npm
npx create-straPi-app my-project --quickstart

Hi

There are no Plus and Illo imports in the ContentTypesTable component

do I always have to rebuild strapi when I make changes to the plugin?
