How can I assign localized string component to the property of other gameobject in editor?

Hi,
The LocalizedString does not link directly to any GameObjects. Its for providing the localized string, you then need to assign that to your StatusText.
I suggest you look at the LocalizeStringBehaviour. This is a Component you can use to hook up a GameObject, such as UI Text or TMP.
If you click the context menu on the Text you will see a Localize option which will add it and set it up automatically for you.
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.localization@0.6/manual/ComponentLocalizers.html

You can also look at the source for a guide to doing it yourself

Code (csharp):

1. using System;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine.Events;
4. using UnityEngine.Localization.Tables;
5.  
6. namespace UnityEngine.Localization.Components
7. {
8.     /// <summary>
9.     /// Component that can be used to Localize a string.
10.     /// Allows for configuring optional string arguments and provides an update event that can be used to update the string.
11.     /// </summary>
12.     [AddComponentMenu("Localization/Localize String")]
13.     public class LocalizeStringBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
14.     {
15.         /// <summary>
16.         /// UnityEvent which can pass a string as an argument.
17.         /// </summary>
18.         [Serializable]
19.         public class StringUnityEvent : UnityEvent<string> {};
20.  
21.         [SerializeField]
22.         LocalizedString m_StringReference = new LocalizedString();
23.  
24.         [SerializeField]
25.         List<Object> m_FormatArguments = new List<Object>();
26.  
27.         [SerializeField]
28.         StringUnityEvent m_UpdateString = new StringUnityEvent();
29.  
30.         /// <summary>
31.         /// References the <see cref="StringTable"/> and <see cref="StringTableEntry"/> of the localized string.
32.         /// </summary>
33.         public LocalizedString StringReference
34.         {
35.             get => m_StringReference;
36.             set => m_StringReference = value;
37.         }
38.  
39.         /// <summary>
40.         /// Event that will be sent when the localized string is ready.
41.         /// </summary>
42.         public StringUnityEvent OnUpdateString
43.         {
44.             get => m_UpdateString;
45.             set => m_UpdateString = value;
46.         }
47.  
48.         /// <summary>
49.         /// Starts listening for changes to <see cref="StringReference"/>.
50.         /// </summary>
51.         protected virtual void OnEnable()
52.         {
53.             if (m_FormatArguments.Count > 0)
54.             {
55.                 StringReference.Arguments = m_FormatArguments.ToArray();
56.             }
57.  
58.             StringReference.RegisterChangeHandler(UpdateString);
59.         }
60.  
61.         /// <summary>
62.         /// Stops listening for changes to <see cref="StringReference"/>.
63.         /// </summary>
64.         protected virtual void OnDisable()
65.         {
66.             StringReference.ClearChangeHandler();
67.         }
68.  
69.         /// <summary>
70.         /// Invokes the <see cref="OnUpdateString"/> event.
71.         /// </summary>
72.         /// <param name="value"></param>
73.         protected virtual void UpdateString(string value)
74.         {
75.             OnUpdateString.Invoke(value);
76.         }
77.     }
78. }

 

OK I think I understand. You want to reference the LocalizedString in another script.
A LocalizedString is just a normal class so you can't reference it in the way you want however the LocalizeStringBehaviour is a MonoBehaviour and can be referenced like this.

So the following will work

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using UnityEngine.Localization.Components;
4.  
5. public class LoadingUI : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     [SerializeField]
8.     LocalizeStringBehaviour statusTextBehaviour;
9.  
10.     public void SetStatusName(string status)
11.     {
12.         statusTextBehaviour.StringReference.SetReference("UIText", status);
13.     }
14. }

 

It was renamed to LocalizeStringEvent.
What version of the package are you using, that was a long time ago. We are on 1.4.3 now. If it's not visible in the package manager you can manually edit the manifest.json file in the Packages folder.

 

A LocalizedString is not a unity object so can't be referenced across objects though the inspector, what you are doing is fine though.
