Question Loading String Tables with Addressables

Hey, I've stumbled upon this docs page (https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.localization@0.11/manual/Addressables.html)

It looks fine, but doesn't really tell me anything, other than how to create groups and that's it.

So I create these groups and build the addressables as mentioned in the tutorial and where do I go after? How to actually achieve the possibility that I can change what is actually downloaded at the start of the app?

Can I edit the downloaded content on the Unity CDN or is it different with localization?

Thanks!

 

Alright.

...and it is later on normally downloaded via

Code (CSharp):

1. Addressables.LoadAssetAsync<StringTable>(id);

correct?

Or I do not need to do anything with Addressables in custom scripts and it will sort itself?

 

All I need to do really is to load the "remote Addressable localization data", so for that, do I need to call anything to get it updated in the app or is that done automatically?

 

All I want is to be able to patch + update translation from server (Unity CDN), so I don't know to which scenario it applies... I guess the first one?

 

Thanks!

I've dug deeper and implemented part of the code, which seems to work in editor, but not in an actual build...

Code (CSharp):

1. private IEnumerator CheckForNewTranslations()
2.     {
3.         var initializeOp = Addressables.InitializeAsync();
4.         yield return initializeOp;
5.         if (!initializeOp.IsValid())
6.         {
7.             Debug.LogError("Failed to initialize Addressables");
8.         }
9.        
10.         var checkForUpdateHandle = Addressables.CheckForCatalogUpdates(false);
11.         yield return checkForUpdateHandle;
12.         if (checkForUpdateHandle.Status != UnityEngine.ResourceManagement.AsyncOperations.AsyncOperationStatus.Succeeded)
13.         {
14.             Debug.LogError($"CheckForCatalogUpdates failed with status {checkForUpdateHandle.Status}");
15.             yield break;
16.         }
17.        
18.         var catalogsToUpdate = new List<string>();
19.         catalogsToUpdate.AddRange(checkForUpdateHandle.Result);
20.         Addressables.Release(checkForUpdateHandle);
21.         if (catalogsToUpdate.Count > 0)
22.         {
23.             Debug.Log("[Catalog] update available");
24.             var updateHandle = Addressables.UpdateCatalogs(catalogsToUpdate, false  );
25.             yield return updateHandle;
26.             var updateStatus = updateHandle.Status;
27.             Addressables.Release(updateHandle);
28.             if (updateStatus != UnityEngine.ResourceManagement.AsyncOperations.AsyncOperationStatus.Succeeded)
29.             {
30.                 Debug.LogError($"UpdateCatalogs failed with status {updateHandle.Status}");
31.                 yield break;
32.             }
33.             Debug.Log("[Catalog] updated");
34.         }
35.         else
36.         {
37.             Debug.LogError("No catalog update available");
38.         }
39.  
40.     }

When I call this in Start(), it updates to the correct values in Editor (even if I change the local String Tables to something different), but does nothing in Android build. I've selected the "Use existing build" option in the Groups window as well.


Any idea why this could be happening?

 

Actually a little update. It seems to update the string table in editor even if I only call Addressables.InitializeAsync() (and actually none of the code that I provided), but not in the build :/

Another edit: The editor values semed to be cached locally, which means it does not work at all, not even in editor...
