    Remove the '.Key' part and you will have the entry. You can then set the Localized field.
    Make sure to also mark the table as dirty using
    EditorUtility.SetDirty.

    Now i have another doubt, can i check if a key has the "<icono>" thing and then change the text ui instead of the string key? Cause right know i access the key checks that it has the "<icono>" then change it in the console but i dont know if it's better to change it in the text or in the key itself Captura de Pantalla 2022-10-31 a la(s) 18.45.05.png

    Code (CSharp):
    1. public class LocalizationIconData : ScriptableObject
    2.     {
    3.         public IconFlow[] Icons;
    4.  
    5.         int _index = 1;

    21.             //string spriteSheet = "Smiling face with smiling eyes";
    22.  
    23.             Debug.Log(text);
    24.  
    25.             if (text.Contains("<icono>"))
    26.             {
    27.                 Debug.Log("it has it");
    28.              
    29.                 text = text.Replace("icono", $"sprite=\"{spriteSheetName}\" name=\"{actionName}\"");
    30.                 Debug.Log(text);
    31.  
    32.             }

    I would use a smart string.

    instead of

    "New Game <icono>"

    do

    "New Game <sprite="{spriteSheetName}" name="{actionName}">";

    Now pass a reference to your instance as an argument to GetLocalizedString.

    Code (csharp):
    1. public class LocalizationIconData : ScriptableObject
    2. {
    3.     public IconFlow[] Icons;
    4.  
    5.     int _index = 1;
    6.  
    7.     public string spriteSheetName;
    8.     public string actionName;
    9.  
    10.     Dictionary<string, string> m_SpriteArguments = new Dictionary<string, string>();
    11.  
    12.     private void OnValidate()
    13.     {
    14.         LocalizeText();
    15.     }
    16.  
    17.     public string LocalizeText()
    18.     {
    19.         string text = Icons[0].StringReference.GetLocalizedString(this);
    20.         return text;
    21.     }
    22. }
    It will now extract the fields spriteSheetName and actionName from the argument using the Reflection Source, if the smart string is not using those arguments then it will just do nothing. This way you keep the same code for strings with and without a sprite.

    Is there a way that i change the action name via script or when i choose the enum i want it changes the action name and then changes the locale variable?
    Captura de Pantalla 2022-11-01 a la(s) 11.57.41.png
    like right now my local variables are set at spriteSheetName = SpritesPS and actionName = north but i want it to be south because that's what i chose in the inspector but it's still north

    Are you using a custom inspector? What does your code look like? Its not saving the changes via the inspector?

    Yeah its not, let me show you this is my inspector
    Captura de Pantalla 2022-11-01 a la(s) 17.34.10.png

    And this is the two scripts im using, one for the icons items and the other for whatever it's going on outside. My plan is using the enum of icons to change the action name in the smart string, cause the sprite sheet name is actually gonna be the same all the time. I don't know if maybe im not doing in it in the right script and maybe that's why im not getting what i want

    Script #1

    Code (CSharp):
    1.  
    2. using System;
    3. using System.Collections;
    4. using System.Collections.Generic;
    5. using UnityEngine;
    6. using TMPro;
    7. using UnityEngine.Localization;
    8. using UnityEngine.Localization.SmartFormat.PersistentVariables;
    9.  
    10.  
    11.     [CreateAssetMenu(menuName = "LocalizedIconData", fileName = "LocalizedIconData")]
    12.     public class LocalizationIconData : ScriptableObject
    13.     {
    14.         public IconFlow[] Icons;
    15.  
    16.         int _index = 1;
    17.  
    18.         Dictionary<string, string> m_SpriteArguments = new Dictionary<string, string>();
    19.  
    20.         public string spriteSheetName;
    21.        // public string actionName;
    22.  
    23.  
    24.         private void OnValidate()
    25.         {
    26.             //GetTableKey();
    27.             LocalizeText();
    28.         }
    29.  
    30.         public string LocalizeText()
    31.         {
    32.             string text = Icons[0].StringReference.GetLocalizedString(this);
    33.  
    34.             (Icons[0].StringReference["actionName"] as StringVariable).Value = "south";
    35.  
    36.             return text;
    37.  
    38.             /* string text = Icons[0].StringReference.GetLocalizedString();
    39.  
    40.              //string actionName = "EmojiOne";
    41.              //string spriteSheet = "Smiling face with smiling eyes";
    42.  
    43.              Debug.Log(text);
    44.  
    45.              if (text.Contains("<icono>"))
    46.              {
    47.                  Debug.Log("it has it");
    48.  
    49.                  text = text.Replace("icono", $"sprite=\"{spriteSheetName}\" name=\"{actionName}\"");
    50.                  Debug.Log(text);
    51.  
    52.              }
    53.              else
    54.              {
    55.                  Debug.Log("no lo tiene");
    56.              }
    57.  
    58.              return text;*/
    59.  
    60.  
    61.         }
    62.  
    63.         private void GetTableKey()
    64.         {
    65.             var collection = UnityEditor.Localization.LocalizationEditorSettings.GetStringTableCollection(Icons[_index].StringReference.TableReference);
    66.  
    67.             if (collection != null)
    68.             {
    69.                 var keyName = collection.SharedData.GetEntryFromReference(Icons[_index].StringReference.TableEntryReference);
    70.                 actionName = keyName.ToString();
    71.             }
    72.  
    73.         }
    74.  
    75.     }
    76.  
    77.  
    78.  
    and this is script #2

    Code (CSharp):
    1. using System;
    2. using UnityEngine;
    3. using TMPro;
    4. using System.Collections.Generic;
    5. using UnityEngine.Localization;
    6.  
    7.  
    8.  
    9.  
    10.     public enum IconType
    11.     {
    12.         north = 0,
    13.         south = 1,
    14.     }
    15.  
    16.     [Serializable]
    17.     public class IconFlow
    18.  
    19.     {
    20.         public LocalizedString StringReference;
    21.         public IconType icons;
    22.         public string actionName;
    23.  
    24.         public void GetActionName(IconType icon)
    25.         {
    26.             if(icon == IconType.north)
    27.             {
    28.                 string enumAsString = nameof(IconType.north);
    29.                 actionName = enumAsString;
    30.             }
    31.             else if(icon == IconType.south)
    32.             {
    33.                 string enumAsString = nameof(IconType.south);
    34.                 actionName = enumAsString;
    35.             }
    36.          
    37.         }
    38.  
    39.     }
    40.  
    41.     public class LocalizedIcons : MonoBehaviour
    42.     {
    43.      
    44.     }
    45.

    Are you using the Editor settings class. That will let you change the values
