[Bug]: "The Meta Version field is required" when installing languages

[antoniozh]

What happened?

When installing languages from the marketplace, it seems like the API returns languages without the version field. Unfortunately, I get this exception as a notification: "The Meta Version field is required."
This response comes back when trying to install new languages:

{
  "#notification": "    <div\n        class=\"alert alert-danger\"\n        data-control=\"flash-message\"\n        data-allow-dismiss=\"false\"\n        role=\"alert\"\n    >\n                    <p>The Meta Version field is required.</p>\n            </div>\n    ",
  "X_IGNITER_ERROR_FIELDS": {
    "items.0.ver": [
      "The Meta Version field is required."
    ]
  }
}

Also, the confirmation dialogue shows no version number, maybe the API left out the version of the language packs?

What did you expect to happen?

Languages to be installed seamlessly

Version

3.x

What browser are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome, Microsoft Edge

Relevant log output

{
  "#notification": "    <div\n        class=\"alert alert-danger\"\n        data-control=\"flash-message\"\n        data-allow-dismiss=\"false\"\n        role=\"alert\"\n    >\n                    <p>The Meta Version field is required.</p>\n            </div>\n    ",
  "X_IGNITER_ERROR_FIELDS": {
    "items.0.ver": [
      "The Meta Version field is required."
    ]
  }
}

You can work around the issue by manually downloading the language you desire and placing it in the folder structure in a folder with the short for the language "de" for german for example. Than you just create a language in the admin interface with the same short handle and all Translation should appear just like magic, as if you entered them yourself.
I think most of the work on tastyigniter is focused on version 4.0 release hence this issue remains.

I tried, but the "de" language download is greyed out.. Am I missing something ?

[nitroglyzerin]

Oh yeah you are right, forgot about that part. I remade the folder as i also got to that point and after loads of googleling i found out that Downloads were disabled for tasty language packs. I even tried to get the language pack by capturing the query and replay it with a Version field, but had no luck.
So yeah if you really want the Translation you need to copy and paste each file individually. But it will work :)

[Dielee]

This is... but yes, thanks for your fast response!

[Dielee]

Maybe someone would like to share me the german language pack ?

[antoniozh]

Do you have a Discord where I can add and send you the zip?

[Dielee]

Yes sure, just add me: dielee_
