Question Changing locales

Hi - I'm having trouble getting localized text to change. I have a table with just "hello" and "goodbye" in it as keys, for testing. Both words are translated into a number of languages, e.g. french. I've set the locale to 3 (french) and it reports as french with a debug.log statement. I can also set french in the Localization Scene Controls for the localization table (there is only one in the project)

private IEnumerator Start()
{
// Wait for the table to load asynchronously
var table_loaded = localized_string_table.GetTable();
yield return table_loaded;
current_string_table = table_loaded;

// This can be used to force locale, although it doesn't change the string return. Not sure why.
LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocale = LocalizationSettings.AvailableLocales.Locales[3];
}

Here I change the contents of a text mesh pro UI item - but Debug.Log also shows the same content. It is always "HELLO" - the English translation. It never shows "BONJOUR", despite this being in the table, as the third language. It only shows English no matter which locale I choose.

void Display()
{
// put text on screen - tmp ui element.
var str = current_string_table["hello"].LocalizedValue; // or .GetLocalizedString();
dialogue_text.text = str;
}

I'm sure I'm making a basic mistake here. Unity version is 2022.1.23f1

 

Hi Karl - thanks for the reply!

In the end I used some code I found in another thread you replied to, applying your advice about checking for the locale changing, after I didn't have any luck with RegisterChangeHandler (it seems to not be part of the LocalizedStringTable)

For anybody else who needs the code -
In Start, after getting the table as above, add the following line -
LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocaleChanged += Changed_Locale_Function;

then the following two functions

// Async functions to reload the table if locale changes - e.g. from the settings screen.
private void Changed_Locale_Function( Locale locale)
{
StartCoroutine( On_Changed_Locale( locale ) );
}

private IEnumerator On_Changed_Locale( Locale locale )
{
var loadingOperation = LocalizationSettings.StringDatabase.GetTableAsync( localized_string_table.TableReference );
yield return loadingOperation;

if( loadingOperation.Status == AsyncOperationStatus.Succeeded )
current_string_table = loadingOperation.Result;
else
Debug.Log( "Could not load String Table\n" + loadingOperation.OperationException.ToString() );
}
