When I start developing a new plugin, my dev environment does not pick up the client.en.yml strings that belong to the new plugin. It does pick up all other i18n strings, both from core and for other plugins. I’ve had this before when introducing a new client.en.yml file and then the problem went away after a number of hours or after I did something (if only I knew what). When the problem goes away, it picks up updates to the i18n strings without any problems. It’s just like it takes something (or time) before the file is seen. config/locales/client.en.yml en: js: my_plugin: description_placeholder: "Enter description" hbs file: Browser shows: [en.my_plugin.description_placeholder] Admin - Customize - Text: shows the correct string (!!!) with key js.my_plugin.description_placeholder When I change the string in admin - customize - text, the browser shows the modification. When I revert the changed string, the browser goes back to [en.my_plugin.description_placeholder] I’ve restarted bin/ember-cli I’ve restarted rails When I modify the file, ember-cli notices and outputs file changed client.en.yml Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Just now, a reboot resolved the issue…

Unable to see i18n strings during development

This should solve the problem:
