Resolved Plural Localization Formatter

We are working on improving the Smart String docs at the moment.
This is the page you need https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.localization@0.11/manual/Pluralization.html

We also have a simple example of plurals in the quick start guide https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/c...localization-create-a-string-table-collection

Those 3 values in Names are the choices you have for the formatter, it means you can specify a plural with plural or p or leave it empty and it will implicitly use the plural formatter.

So for example your English would look like:

Code (csharp):

1. "You have {0:plural:1 second|{} seconds} to finish."

You need to pass the value into the LocalizedString. You could do it the same way as this although you would need to change the placeholder from 0 to a property or variable name in your script so it can find the value. You could pass the value in directly into the Arguments property. See the Loading Strings examples on how to use LocalizedString https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/c...localization-create-a-string-table-collection

E.G

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using UnityEngine.Localization;
4.  
5. namespace UnityEditor.Localization.Samples
6. {
7.     public class LocalizedStringWithChangeHandlerExample : MonoBehaviour
8.     {
9.         public LocalizedString stringRef = new LocalizedString() { TableReference = "My String Table", TableEntryReference = "Hello World" };
10.         string m_TranslatedString;
11.         int m_Score = 0;
12.  
13.         void OnEnable()
14.         {
15.             stringRef.Arguments = new object[1] { m_Score };
16.             stringRef.StringChanged += UpdateString;
17.         }
18.  
19.         void OnDisable()
20.         {
21.             stringRef.StringChanged -= UpdateString;
22.         }
23.  
24.         public void UpdateScore(int score)
25.         {
26.             m_Score = score;
27.  
28.             stringRef.Arguments[0] = score;
29.             stringRef.RefreshString();
30.         }
31.  
32.         void UpdateString(string translatedValue)
33.         {
34.             m_TranslatedString = translatedValue;
35.             Debug.Log("Translated Value Updated: " + translatedValue);
36.         }
37.  
38.         void OnGUI()
39.         {
40.             GUILayout.Label(m_TranslatedString);
41.         }
42.     }
43. }
44.  

So for English the first value is the singular and the other is the many, Spanish is also a One or Other so would follow a similar pattern.

Yes that's correct, glad you solved it. The text will be different for each language so has to come from the table however each table can use the placeholders you provide. So essentially it fetches the correct string with placeholders and then applies the formatting.

 

Hi,
Looks like you are using the 0 index as an argument however, there is no 0 item. The smart format arguments can not be referenced by indexes, they need the variable name. So it would be:

{plural:p:Competicion|Competiciones}

You also need to make sure that Smart is toggled on.
