Question How to load string by key in script?

Can not found such guide in dicumentation.
Currently trying this in such way:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using System.Collections;
4. using System.Collections.Generic;
5. using UnityEngine.Localization;
6. using UnityEngine.ResourceManagement;
7.  
8. namespace UI {
9.  public class FlyingLogUI: MonoBehaviour {
10.   [SerializeField]
11.   private UnityEngine.Localization.Tables.TableReference _tableRef;
12.   [SerializeField]
13.   private UnityEngine.Localization.Settings.LocalizedStringDatabase _stringDatabase;
14.  
15.   void Awake() {
16.    StartCoroutine(LoadLocalization());
17.   }
18.  
19.   IEnumerator LoadLocalization() {
20.    UnityEngine.ResourceManagement.AsyncOperations.AsyncOperationHandle < string > localizedString =
21.     _stringDatabase.GetLocalizedStringAsync(_tableRef, "test_levels"); //will be obtained dynamically
22.    yield
23.    return localizedString;
24.    if (localizedString.IsDone) {
25.     Debug.Log(localizedString.Result);
26.    }
27.   }
28.  }
29. }
30.  

But I see several errors like this:

Failed to extract SmartFormatter instance.

and one, whuch related to script itself:

Is it possible for now to load localized string by key in script?

 

Table name in reference and default table name in database reference are filled out with existing table name, not empty

 

It's possible to change LocalizedString key in runtime?
LocalizedReference.TableEntryReference.Key seems to be read only. I want to get string key from eventBus and display localized string (maybe with args) to user

 

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine.Localization;
5. using UnityEngine.ResourceManagement;
6.  
7. namespace UI
8. {
9.     public class FlyingLogUI : MonoBehaviour
10.     {
11.         //TODO: load localized string
12.         [SerializeField]
13.         LocalizedString _localizedString;
14.         void Awake()
15.         {
16.             _localizedString.TableEntryReference = "test_levels";
17.             StartCoroutine(LoadLocalization());
18.         }
19.  
20.         IEnumerator LoadLocalization()
21.         {
22.             UnityEngine.ResourceManagement.AsyncOperations.AsyncOperationHandle<string> localizedString =
23.             _localizedString.GetLocalizedString();
24.             yield
25.             return localizedString;
26.             if (localizedString.IsDone)
27.             {
28.                 Debug.Log(localizedString.Result);
29.             }
30.         }
31.     }
32. }

Updated loading code, but table reference is not recognized:

 

I'm trying to load key dynamically from script, not to set it by hand. I changed key for other existing, but one of errors is still here (was trying to load both "height_is_low" and "UI/height_is_low" keys in script):

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine.Localization;
5. using UnityEngine.ResourceManagement;
6.  
7. namespace UI
8. {
9.     public class FlyingLogUI : MonoBehaviour
10.     {
11.         //TODO: load localized string
12.         [SerializeField]
13.         LocalizedString _localizedString;
14.         void Awake()
15.         {
16.             _localizedString.TableEntryReference = "height_is_low";
17.             StartCoroutine(LoadLocalization());
18.         }
19.  
20.         IEnumerator LoadLocalization()
21.         {
22.             UnityEngine.ResourceManagement.AsyncOperations.AsyncOperationHandle<string> localizedString =
23.             _localizedString.GetLocalizedString();
24.             yield
25.             return localizedString;
26.             if (localizedString.IsDone)
27.             {
28.                 Debug.Log(localizedString.Result);
29.             }
30.         }
31.     }
32. }

 

Error fired in LocalizedDatabase, line 191

 

Assets/Scripts/UI/FlyingLogUI.cs(22,30): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'LocalizationSettings' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I have to include this class by some other using directive? https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/c...Engine.Localization.LocalizationSettings.html It seems to be already included in UnityEngine.Localization

 

Thank you, now all works correctly

 

Can't find in documentation how I can get localized string value of table by given key?
I need to update UI Text by condition.

something like..
if(inputWrong)
{
messageUI.text = localizationTable.GetValueByKey("WRONG_INPUT");
}
else
{
messageUI.text = localizationTable.GetValueByKey("RIGHT_INPUT");
}

 

thanks

 

I have issue with getting localized value in editor.

Code (CSharp):

1. if (stringTable != null)
2.             {
3.                 var entry = stringTable.GetEntry(entryName);
4.                 return entry.GetLocalizedString();
5.             }

the thing is on build the value is getting in the right language

Code (CSharp):

1.  int langIndex = PlayerPrefs.GetInt(K.PlayerPrefKey.language);
2.             Debug.Log($"[GameManager] - Application language: {(Language)langIndex}");
3.             LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocale
4.                  = LocalizationSettings.AvailableLocales.Locales[langIndex];

but in editor, it shows in English (which is the first language in locate) and only after switching language in dropdown list on game window,

it appears the way it should be.

 

Yes, play mode. Also, I think it was working fine couple days ago, or maybe haven't noticed then.
Could you please help, where to look for version of Addressables and how update it?

 

I updated the Addressable version to 1.16.16 and printed out all locales, all locales are available.

Code (CSharp):

1.  if (stringTable != null)
2.             {
3.                 var entry = stringTable.GetEntry(entryName);
4.                 foreach (var l in LocalizationSettings.AvailableLocales.Locales)
5.                 {
6.                     Debug.Log($"Locale: {l.name}");
7.                 }
8.                 return entry.GetLocalizedString();
9.             }

Still the same issue.

 

On enable of object

Code (CSharp):

1. protected LocalizationService localizationService;
2.  
3.         private void OnEnable()
4.         {
5.             localizationService = LocalizationService.SharedInstance;
6.  
7.             StartCoroutine(localizationService.LoadStrings(OnLocalizationLoaded));
8.             LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocaleChanged += OnSelectedLocaleChanged;
9.         }

LocalizationService is singleton

Code (CSharp):

1. private StringTable stringTable;
2. public IEnumerator LoadStrings(Action callback)
3.         {
4.             var loadingOperation = LocalizationSettings.StringDatabase.GetTableAsync(localizationTableName);
5.             yield return loadingOperation;
6.  
7.             if (loadingOperation.Status == AsyncOperationStatus.Succeeded)
8.             {
9.                 stringTable = loadingOperation.Result;
10.  
11.                 callback();
12.             }
13.             else
14.             {
15.                 Debug.LogError("Could not load String Table\n" + loadingOperation.OperationException.ToString());
16.             }
17.         }
18.  
19.         public string GetStringFor(string entryName)
20.         {
21.             if (stringTable != null)
22.             {
23.                 var entry = stringTable.GetEntry(entryName);
24.                 foreach (var l in LocalizationSettings.AvailableLocales.Locales)
25.                 {
26.                     Debug.Log($"Locale: {l.name}");
27.                 }
28.                 return entry.GetLocalizedString();
29.             }
30.  
31.             return "<Empty>";
32.         }

after everything loaded, I click on button and get localized string

Code (CSharp):

1. messageTMP.text = localizationService.GetStringFor(K.LocalizationKey.msgChangeNumber);

 

no, it doesn't work.

 

I save language only in one scene (Settings) into PlayerPrefs.

And in all other scenes I set the value of locale in Start method with next code:

Code (CSharp):

1. private IEnumerator Start()
2.         {
3.             // Wait for the localization system to initialize
4.             yield return LocalizationSettings.InitializationOperation;
5.  
6.             int langIndex = PlayerPrefs.GetInt(K.PlayerPrefKey.language);
7.             Debug.Log($"[GameManager] - Application language: {(Language)langIndex}");
8.             LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocale
9.                  = LocalizationSettings.AvailableLocales.Locales[langIndex];
10.         }

On each scene load I see in log that language are different then English.
Every text which is set via Inspector works fine but when I set some text via script I get texts on English.
Again, on build application everything works fine. The issue only on Play mode.

 

Something wrong with GetLocalizedString() method.
Because from below script in log I see the language Russian but the returned string in English.

Code (CSharp):

1. public string GetStringFor(string entryName)
2.         {
3.             if (stringTable != null)
4.             {
5.                 StringTableEntry entry = stringTable.GetEntry(entryName);
6.                 Debug.Log($"SelectedLocale: {LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocale.name}");
7.                 return entry.GetLocalizedString();
8.             }
9.  
10.             return "<Empty>";
11.         }

I have already described full implementation.

 

Yes, that was issue. Is there a method to cache table sets of all languages, and fetch text regarding to selected locale? Or I have to cache each language table separately and implement own method of fetching value?

 

Thank you.

 

Hello,
I'm not sure it is related, but I'm trying to get the String value of the TableEntryReference.Key to add "_txt" after, so I can reuse it in another text reference. I can't seem to be able to access Name, and Key is actually null when I Debug.Log it. If I use ToString() too, and if I use ToString() to TableEntryReference, it just gives me numbers all over the place.

Right now I have this

Code (CSharp):

1. public GameObject detectedObject;
2. public TextMeshProUGUI EmoDisplayText;
3.     public TextMeshProUGUI EmoExplainText;
4.  
5.     public LocalizeStringEvent emoExplanationStringEvent;
6.     LocalizedString emoExplainLocalizedString;
7.     public string keyName = "e_anger"; // I want keyName to go grom "e_anger" to "e_anger_txt", and this vallue is change quite regularly according to
8.  
9.     void FixedUpdate()
10.     {
11.         //Debug.Log(detectedObject.GetComponent<LocalizeStringEvent>().StringReference.TableEntryReference + " is your table entry reference. I'll try to copy it into " + EmoDisplayText.GetComponent<LocalizeStringEvent>().StringReference.TableEntryReference);
12.         if (detectedObject.GetComponent<LocalizeStringEvent>() != null) {
13.             EmoDisplayText.GetComponent<LocalizeStringEvent>().StringReference.TableEntryReference = detectedObject.GetComponent<LocalizeStringEvent>().StringReference.TableEntryReference;
14. //This part works great, no problem, I'm transfering values from different objects to apply to the EmoDisplayText
15.  
16.             emoExplanationStringEvent = EmoExplainText.GetComponent<LocalizeStringEvent>();
17.  
18.             Debug.Log(EmoDisplayText.GetComponent<LocalizeStringEvent>().StringReference.TableEntryReference.Key); //could add ToString(), doesn't change anything, returns null
19.             keyName = EmoDisplayText.GetComponent<LocalizeStringEvent>().StringReference.TableEntryReference.Key + "_txt";
20.             emoExplanationStringEvent.StringReference.SetReference("EmotionsName", keyName);
21.         }
22.     }

Is there something I'm missing?

Thak you to you all, great work answering all of us all ofver the place.

 

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I will study the links you gave.
The code this way works like a charm!

Thak you very much for your kind help!
