    Hello! I've found out how to get string from LocalizedString, but it only works for active Locale. Is there any way to get strings of another Locales (without switching them globally in settings, of course)?

    Yes this is supported. How are you currently getting your strings? If you are using a LocalizedString then you can set the LocaleOverride property to point to a different Locale. All the GetLocalizedString API also supports an optional locale.

    There is an example here https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/c...ocalization_LocalizedReference_LocaleOverride

    I have a similar problem, i have a local multiplayer game that needs to support individual language choice. Is there a way to use the override with the standard Localize string event, or should i make my own script to update the strings?

    Will this be the language choice on a single machine or running on the same machine such as split screen?
