Did you build the addressables? Localization not working

Recently I implemented localization and I noticed it wasn't working on my Windows build. Now I have set the Play Mode Script to Use Existing Build in Window -> Asset Management -> Addressables -> Groups and I get the same error in Unity when hitting Play.

I've already tried clicking Build -> New build -> Default script and in Assets/AddressableAssetsData/Windows the addressables_content_state.bin file shows up when doing so. A quick investigation of this .bin file in Notepad++ shows that the name of my localization files shows up (localization-string-tables-dutch(nl)) so it's at least doing something with it.

What should I do to get my game working?

Code (CSharp):

1. No Locale could be selected:
2. No Locales were available. Did you build the Addressables?
3. The following (4) IStartupLocaleSelectors were used:
4.     UnityEngine.Localization.Settings.SpecificLocaleSelector
5.     UnityEngine.Localization.Settings.SpecificLocaleSelector
6.     UnityEngine.Localization.Settings.CommandLineLocaleSelector
7.     UnityEngine.Localization.Settings.SystemLocaleSelector
8.  
9. UnityEngine.ResourceManagement.AsyncOperations.AsyncOperationBase`1/<>c__DisplayClass58_0<System.Collections.Generic.IList`1<UnityEngine.Localization.Locale>>:<add_CompletedTypeless>b__0 (UnityEngine.ResourceManagement.AsyncOperations.AsyncOperationHandle`1<System.Collections.Generic.IList`1<UnityEngine.Localization.Locale>>)
10. DelegateList`1<UnityEngine.ResourceManagement.AsyncOperations.AsyncOperationHandle`1<System.Collections.Generic.IList`1<UnityEngine.Localization.Locale>>>:Invoke (UnityEngine.ResourceManagement.AsyncOperations.AsyncOperationHandle`1<System.Collections.Generic.IList`1<UnityEngine.Localization.Locale>>) (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.addressables@1.17.15/Runtime/ResourceManager/Util/DelegateList.cs:69)
11. UnityEngine.ResourceManagement.ResourceManager:Update (single)
12. MonoBehaviourCallbackHooks:Update () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.addressables@1.17.15/Runtime/ResourceManager/Util/MonoBehaviourCallbackHooks.cs:26)

 

These all have a "Content packing & loading" section where the build path is set to LocalBuildPath.

• Default Local Group
• Localization-Assets-Shared
• Localization-Locales
• Localization-String-Tables-Dutch (nl)
• Localization-String-Tables-English (en)

For Localization-Locales I've added a screenshot:


I ran the Analyzers (Window > Asset Management > Addressables > Analyze > Analyze Selected Rules) and there's about 15 seconds of progress bars moving, then the progress bar popup closes, but I don't really see any result.
When reading the documentation it's not entirely clear to me what the next step would be with these Analyzers.

 

I guess I was expecting something from the analyzer in the logs, but after your comment I found how to expand the rule


Those were errors I could work with, so I renamed some files and localization is now working both in- and outside Unity.

Thank you for your help!

 

Hi @karl_jones, I updated addressables to 1.18.13 from 1.18.11 and i build my project for android. There was no error in 1.18.11 but now when i call LocalizedString.GetLocalizedString(); it breaks everything.
I got 2021/07/30 23:44:22.415 7316 7361 Error mono Step depth: 1 message on Android Logcat and thats all i can get. When im trying to debug it doesnt throw any exception or doesnt show any error.
Steps that i followed :
- When i updated the package i went to Addressables Groups -> Build -> Clean Build -> All
- I rebuild the addressables by going Addressables Groups -> Build -> New Build -> Default Build Script
- I deleted all addressable groups that related to localization and run the analyzer by goin Addressables Groups -> Tools -> Window -> Analyze -> Clicked on Analyze Rules -> Analyze Selected Rules
- It was showing some errors about locales and error was locales not marked as Addressable. Then I selected the rules and clicked Fix selected rules.
- Build the project again but problem is still there.

Should i go back to previous version of Addressable?

 

I updated Addressables to 1.18.11 but problem is still there and unfortunately im not able to file bug report with this project. I will try to reproduce the issue with an example project. Maybe you can follow my steps that i described previous post and reproduce the issue. Right now i will remove and reimport the packages and try again.
