[Solved] NullReferenceException when using LocalizedString

I'm trying to use LocalizedString in a script like so:

Code (CSharp):

1. public LocalizedString TEST;
2.  
3. private void OnEnable()
4.     {
5.         var t1 = TEST.GetLocalizedString();
6.         if (t1.IsDone)
7.         {
8.             Debug.Log(t1.Result);
9.         }
10.     }

I have assigned a string reference in the Inspector. This is the exact error I get:

I appreciate any help and please tell me if I'm simply doing something wrong of it's a possible bug.

Unity Version: 2019.3.9f1
Localization: preview - 0.6.1
Adressables: 1.8.3

 

Hi,

Did you initialized LocalizationSetting before call GetLocalizedString?

Exemple with async function:

Code (CSharp):

1.  if(!LocalizationSettings.InitializationOperation.IsDone) await LocalizationSettings.InitializationOperation.Task;

And did you Set a reference to LocalizedString?

Code (CSharp):

1. localizedString.SetReference(table, key);

Best,
Alexis

 

Oh, I thought the Initialization operation call was a normal step to use LocalizedString...

PS : Coroutines are ugly

Best,
Alexis

 

Thank you @Alexis-Dev and @karl_jones for the support. I ended up going with a Coroutine and now it works!

 

hi, I'm trying to use this to get the actual localized string to later use on a dialogue system effects like the typewriter effects. but I'm currently having this error:

Can not preload when `LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocale` is null.

UnityEngine.Localization.Settings.LocalizationSettings:get_InitializationOperation()

if this is the same bug you mention, I understand.
are there other ways to get the actual string, though?

i'm using
unity 2019.4.14f1
localization package preview - 0.9.0
addressables 1.16.6

 

Ah, you're right! I wasn't doing this on playmode.
how can I set the locale in edit mode?

 

Localization package 0.9.0 used to work for me in recent Android release builds, but after I did something with addressables (clean build I think) I started getting these errors when calling Localized strings from scripts.

Im not sure what I did exactly to break it, it was working without above mentioned

yield return LocalizationSettings.InitializationOperation;

But now I get these:

Code (CSharp):

1. NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
2. UnityEngine.Localization.SmartFormat.Core.Parsing.Parser.ParseFormat (System.String format, System.String[] formatterExtensionNames) (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.localization@0.9.0-preview/Runtime/Smart Format/Core/Parsing/Parser.cs:221)

10. CompleteProject.TankUnlocker.Awake () (at Assets/_GAME/Scripts/Managers/TankUnlocker.cs:54)

Unity doesnt let me use OnEnable as couroutine, but I added that script into a persistent singleton, though it didnt help:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using UnityEngine.Localization.Settings;
4.  
5. public class InitLocalization : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.  
8.     private void Awake() {
9.         StartCoroutine(LocStart());
10.     }
11.     private IEnumerator LocStart()
12.     {
13.         yield return LocalizationSettings.InitializationOperation;
14.     }
15. }

Is it the same case as above or am I missing something?

 

Thanks, it solved the issue. I noticed that Formatters array was full of Empty elements before I recreated it.

 

Hi @karl_jones
I can't use localization in Unity 2019.4.8f1. Checked with version 1.0.0 and 0.11.1.
It gives me this error when playing the scene:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
UnityEngine.Localization.Settings.LocalesProvider.ResetState () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.localization@1.0.0-pre.10/Runtime/Settings/LocalesProvider.cs:139)
UnityEngine.Localization.Settings.LocalizationSettings.ResetState () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.localization@1.0.0-pre.10/Runtime/Settings/LocalizationSettings.cs:540)
UnityEngine.Localization.Settings.LocalizationSettings.OnDisable () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.localization@1.0.0-pre.10/Runtime/Settings/LocalizationSettings.cs:215)

I just add 2 locales and set specific locale to English, then played the scene.

 

Hi there!

I'm trying to use the Unity's Localization Asset, but it gives me errors all the time. I'm using Unity 2019.4.2f1, and I had this errors with Localization 1.0.0 to 1.0.3.

I know very few about programming, so I can't figure how to fix this. May be this gets fixed with a new Unity version, I haven't tried that.

These errors appear when creating a Localization Settings. It gives me this error when playing the scene:

Code (CSharp):

1. NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
2. UnityEngine.Localization.Settings.LocalizedDatabase`2[TTable,TEntry].OnLocaleChanged (UnityEngine.Localization.Locale locale) (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.localization@1.0.3/Runtime/Settings/Database/LocalizedDatabase.cs:512)
3. UnityEngine.Localization.Settings.LocalizedDatabase`2[TTable,TEntry].ResetState () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.localization@1.0.3/Runtime/Settings/Database/LocalizedDatabase.cs:542)
4. UnityEngine.Localization.Settings.LocalizationSettings.ResetState () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.localization@1.0.3/Runtime/Settings/LocalizationSettings.cs:571)
5. UnityEngine.Localization.Settings.LocalizationSettings.OnDisable () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.localization@1.0.3/Runtime/Settings/LocalizationSettings.cs:242)

And this when exiting:

Code (CSharp):

1. NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
2. UnityEngine.Localization.Settings.LocalizedDatabase`2[TTable,TEntry].OnLocaleChanged (UnityEngine.Localization.Locale locale) (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.localization@1.0.3/Runtime/Settings/Database/LocalizedDatabase.cs:512)
3. UnityEngine.Localization.Settings.LocalizedDatabase`2[TTable,TEntry].ResetState () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.localization@1.0.3/Runtime/Settings/Database/LocalizedDatabase.cs:542)
4. UnityEngine.Localization.Settings.LocalizationSettings.ResetState () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.localization@1.0.3/Runtime/Settings/LocalizationSettings.cs:571)
5. UnityEngine.Localization.Settings.LocalizationSettings.EditorApplication_playModeStateChanged (UnityEditor.PlayModeStateChange obj) (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.localization@1.0.3/Runtime/Settings/LocalizationSettings.cs:236)
6. UnityEditor.EditorApplication.Internal_PlayModeStateChanged (UnityEditor.PlayModeStateChange state) (at <2cbbf8f8c622459ca9fa64194b7b6e6e>:0)
7. UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr)

I have tried to reinstall the package, to delete the Localization settings, and I have searched on the forum following other solutions, without success. Any help?

Thank you!

 

Hello


I had this problem a long time ago.
It appears if the project settings window is "attached" as in the attached screenshots. if the window is detached, the problem disappears.


How I decided to:
1. Delete Localization Settings.
2. Detach the project settings window
3. Recreate the localization settings

 

Closer to the weekend or weekends, I will test if I can repeat the error, and if so, I will send.

I have encountered a similar problem with the mobile notification package, it seems to be a problem with unity editor windows, not by localization package

 

In my case, the problem appears nevermind the project settings window is attached or not. I have tried detaching other windows, but it persists. Thank you anyway!

The following is the link to the project in Google Drive. It has some placeholder assets, so it weights more than it should.

Thank you!

 

Okay, I'll do it.

 

This error could not be reproduced, but I found another one
(Case 1371884)

 

Thanks for the reply, it works well in my case.
