Adjustable multi language without rebuilding

I was wondering what the possibilities are in terms of making a Multi-language system with localization
without actually being required to rebuild the game ever again.

In other words, is it possible to have a finished build of a game that consumes strings from an .excel or Google sheet which can be adjusted? (i.e. I adjust a certain string in the google sheet, and this can be seen in the build, without having to open Unity again and rebuild)

If this is not possible, what other alternatives are there to make something like this possible?

 

Isn't this the point of the localisation package?

 

Is it?

I understand that you can choose a certain language in-game, but I don't think it's possible to adjust the google sheet and expect it to work in the finished built. As you can see in the video you have to apply the changes in Unity by syncing the sheet again.

 

You can do this with either Asset bundles or Addressables, or else just download the text data yourself and parse it and put it where it belongs in code.

All of the problems involved are fully documented in millions of youtube tutorials:

- host data in a public location
- use an access token to download from Google sheets
- OR... how to use addressables and/ or asset bundles
- split and parse text
- replace text in game

 

From a glance at the docs, yes. The localisation package uses Addressables. With it, you have access to remote content functionality. It mentions supporting various forms of data origins, such as Google Sheets, too.

Read the docs I guess: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.localization@1.4/manual/index.html
