    Hi! I'm making a text randomizer for some loading screens, for this I need to be able to convert a LocalizedString into a String, I've searched everywhere and I can't find a way to do it, maybe I'm an idiot for not finding how to do it, please help!

    when I do the following, the name of the table is output but not its content
    public Text displaytext;
    public LocalizedString names;

    private void Awake()
    {
    displaytext.text = "" + names;
    }
    Sorry for my insistence or ignorance, but why doesn't this work? and how would i make it work

    You need to do 
    names.GetLocalizedString()
