Question No suitable formatter could be found

Hi there!
I am using Localization 1.3.2 (faced the same problem on 1.3.1 and 1.4.0exp1) and Unity 2020.3.17f1.
I have a smart string on a TextMeshPro, where the variable is linked to a component of another gameobject:

Your current VIP status will expire after {tooltip.expirationTime:time(short)}. Make a purchase to renew it.

The parsing works fine in English, but throws an error on all the rest of the languages, even with exactly the same string.
Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?

Thank you.

 

Hey so I just saw that, and I understand that, what I am trying to fails because time values cannot be translated. So my question is, what use is this tool for?

 

So, the way I understand this, I'll have to write a custom formatter for localizing the time in other languages.
Searching around, I stumbled upon

TimeSpanUtility.cs

where at the end of the file, I saw this
I guess all one has to do is expand that switch statement and include more properties that return TimeTextInfo in a proper way for the language they want to include.

But then again, it is too risky writing code there, cause with the next update of the plugin it will be overwritten.
So what is the suggested approach?

 

Hey Karl, thanks for your reply!
Ended up dumping this Formatter and translating time manually for each occurrence of a time value.
It seems that at its current state the TimeFormatter is of no good use.
I hope you guys get to upgrade that feature in the future.
Cheers

 

Hi, just found out the same way that Time format do nothing.

To answer @karl_jones question. I would like that if I change language, it behave like in english but for all languages.

So in french instead of 2 hours, you get 2 heures.
And so on for each languages, and I assume language that are right to left like arabic have their own way to present it
