    Hi all,

    I have a simple StringTable containing one single string entry translated in only one locale.
    I have checked the "Preload All Tables" and "Preload Table".
    In my UI, i have a GameObject with a Text component and a LocalizeStringEvent component referencing the correct table / table entry.

    I expect that when i enter in Play mode, the UI's text is immediatly updated without delay.
    But i see for about 1s the default text, then it is replaced by the translation.

    Any clue on what i am missing ?

    Thanks beforehand !

    There's going to be an initial delay while it does the preloading. You can use the initialization operation to create a loading screen or do the preloading in a menu before the game starts.
    The loading is done asynchronously so we can't block while we load and instead have to wait a few frames.
