ERROR in @ngx-translate/core - error TS1086: An accessor cannot be declared in an ambient context in Angular 8

Question

I am using Angular 8 and implementing Internationalization (i18n) using ngx-translate. I have used the following libraries.

1. "@ngx-translate/core": "^13.0.0",
2. "@ngx-translate/http-loader": "^6.0.0".

At running this angular project, I got that error.

Please help me to fix this error.

Here's the full error:

ERROR in node_modules/@ngx-translate/core/lib/translate.directive.d.ts:14:9 - error TS1086: An accessor cannot be declared in an ambient context.

Update

Since angular 11 was recentrly released check if the answer is still consistent with the updated packages. Keep track of evolution of ngx-translate.

Old answer

Downgrading it to the version 12.1.2 worked for me. Simply execute npm i @ngx-translate/[email protected] in your terminal. Right now i'm working with theese packages and everything works fine:

• angular/[email protected]
• [email protected]
• ngx-translate/[email protected]
