    I've set up pseudo localization and it works great for UI where I've used the LocalizeStringEvent MonoBehaviour.

    However, strings I retrieve via code don't seem to be pseudo localized:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. myStringTable.GetEntry(key).GetLocalizedString();
    Any ideas?

    Yes the pseudo localization does not get applied at the table level but through the string database. If you are getting values through tables you can apply the pseduo localization yourself.

    GetEntry
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. if (LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocale is PseudoLocale loc)
    3. {
    4. return loc.GetPseudoString(entry.GetLocalizedString());
    5. }
    Ill see if we can add support to the table in the future.
