Resolved Get localized string during editor runtime from LocalizedString

Short for those who also search because I haven't found a Solution in the Forum to retrive the value of a entry:

Code (CSharp):

1. public static class LocalizedStringExtension{
2.     public static string GetValue(this LocalizedString ls, LocaleIdentifier localeIdentifier){
3.         var collection = LocalizationEditorSettings.GetStringTableCollection(ls.TableReference);
4.         return (collection.GetTable(localeIdentifier) as StringTable).GetEntryFromReference(ls.TableEntryReference).Value;
5.     }
6. }

Example how to use:

Code (CSharp):

1. [SerializeField]
2. public LocaleIdentifier localeIdentifier;
3. [SerializeField]
4. public LocalizedString localizedString;
5. string result = localizedString.GetValue(localeIdentifier);

 

Hi Karl Jones,
thanks for your interest.
Yes, in my current use case it is for editor only.
In my case or from our company the editor user selects which string should be used and which language and then triggers a setup of different gameobjects, these will then be setup with the choosen language settings.

So yes it is editor only and the results should currently not switch dynamic the language but should have the selected one which it initial had.

 

I can add a use case, too. I'm sequencing a text-typing animation with Unity Timeline, and I need to write a custom PlayableBehaviour; as part of this process, I need to be able to preview the animation in the editor.

 

Neat, thanks! Loving the package so far.
