Localization Tools -Help

So after taking a break from Unity I decided to get back by localizing my game.

Anyhow , everything went smoothly until the 7.Localized Text Component Video.

I get the following Error:

Code (CSharp):

1. NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
2. LocalizedText.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/LocalizedText.cs:41)

in :

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
5.  
6. public class LocalizedText : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.  
9.     public string key;
10.     private string value;
11.  
12.     public Text textObjectToLocalize;//Drag the text here in the Editor
13.  
14.     // Use this for initialization
15.     void Start()
16.     {
17.         /*
18.          * Text Object Attached
19.          */
20.  
21.         Text text =GetComponent<Text>();
22.         if (text != null)
23.         {
24.             Debug.Log(gameObject + " has text: " + text.name + " key:" + key);
25.             if (LocalizationManager.instance != null)
26.             {
27.                 value = LocalizationManager.instance.GetLocalizedValue(key);
28.                 text.text = value;
29.             }
30.             else
31.             {
32.                 text.text = "Error";
33.             }
34.         }
35.         //The dragged Text Object
36.         else
37.         {
38.  
39.             if (LocalizationManager.instance != null) {
40.                 value = LocalizationManager.instance.GetLocalizedValue(key);
41.                 textObjectToLocalize.text = value;
42.                 }
43.             else
44.             {
45.                 textObjectToLocalize.text = "Error";
46.             }
47.         }
48.      
49.            
50.     }
51.  
52. }

I modified the original code because the same error happened, I tried checking if there's an Object attached and there is .I also made sure I attached the script correctly to a Text Object , but the error keeps poping up. Even though the other language was being translated and the text.text is being changed in the Game tap.
This is the original co:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. using UnityEngine.UI;
6.  
7. public class LocalizedText : MonoBehaviour {
8.  
9.     public string key;
10.  
11.     // Use this for initialization
12.     void Start ()
13.     {
14.         Text text = GetComponent<Text> ();
15.         text.text = LocalizationManager.instance.GetLocalizedValue (key);
16.     }
17.  
18. }

Thanks in advance I spent hours trying everything I could think of .
this is the tutorial btw https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/scripting/localized-text-component?playlist=17117

 

I think it refers to this line, so you should make sure "textObjectToLocalize" and "value" both are non null.

Place a debug line just above the line with error, and print to the console the value of those vars, see what comes up.

Edit: sometimes it will look on the forums like it's one line, but in your ide it might be another line number, so if it's not that line, or those values aren't null, check other nearby values.

 

I placed it and I can see that the functions that returns the translated text to the first attached Text Object with no problems :

Code (CSharp):

1. text.text=value;

when then it also goes to this Text Object that I dropped in the Editor

Code (CSharp):

1. textObjectToLocalize.text = value;

this is where the problem is , I'm sure I dropped the Text in the Editor so I dont understand the problem is.

I tried removing the whole block where I'm initializing textObjectToLocalize , and somehow the error didn't show up in the previous block ( as I mentioned before I faced the same error in the original code).

I'll have to search further and see if it has anything to do with not being connected to Unity services or something else.
thanks consider it closed.

also thanks for the forum tip.

 

No problem, good luck!

 

Hey, did you already find a solution for this problem? I'm still stuck :'(

 

I think it refers to this line, so you should make sure "textObjectToLocalize" and "value" both are non null.

Hello everyone I found a solution for this, The problem with my code was the type of the UI Text, I'm setting the text to an InputField place placeholder and the next line is wrong
Text text = GetComponent<Text> ();
in my case this is the right syntax

public class LocalizedText : MonoBehaviour {

public string key;
public TMP_InputField PlayerInputField;

// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
TextMeshProUGUI placeholder = (TextMeshProUGUI)PlayerInputField.placeholder;
placeholder.text = LocalizationManager.instance.GetLocalizedValue(key);
}
}

You need to add the UI component by drag and drop

Hope this help!
