Question Store `Locale` variable as `string` ?

How can I turn

Code (CSharp):

1. public static `Locale` GetLocale ( ) {
2.     return LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocale;
3. }

into

Code (CSharp):

1. public static `string` GetLocale ( ) {
2.     return LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocale.`ToString ( )`;
3. }

?

I need the device' current locale as a string.

 

I don't know why you're trying to put in weird ` marks in your code, is that just to highlight portions for us?

Have you tried the code you posted? Anything has ToString(), and the class Locale seems to have an override. What's actually not working for you?

 

@halley yes, that is just an attempt to highlight things for you.

 

@halley I am simply trying to turn return LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocale into a string so i can check a list with it.

 

But you gave the desired code. Use it. Print the results to the console. If that's not working, tell us what results you are getting and what is not sufficient.

 

@halley so when I try to do

Code (CSharp):

1. if ( GetLocale ( ) == "English" ) {
2.     // ...
3. }

I get

Code (CSharp):

1. Error CS0019 Operator '==' cannot be applied to operands of type 'Locale' and 'string'

 

Nevermind. Figured it out. had to add ".name" to the end of it and remove .ToString ( )! Thanks anyway!

 

Well, that of course depends on what exactly you're looking for. The Locale class is derived from ScriptableObject and as such it does have a "name" property which returns the actual asset name. Though the class has other strings as well like Identifier (which has a string property "Code") or LocaleName.
