    Hello,

    I've got the Localization package to work with some TMP Texts already, where usually once I add the lcoalization component and select my string reference, the text turns green and is then controlled by the selected Reference.
    However, when I select one of the strings I recently added to the table which I didn''t get working already, It doesn't turn green and I get the following error every time the string attempts to update (I change language):

    AssertionException: Assertion failure. Value was Null

    When I try to change the string reference in my prefab from one which worked to one which doesn't works, it stays green but the string doens't update. I get the following error:

    I am actually unsure how I got some strings from my Table to work in the first place :confused:

    Any help appreciated and thanks in advance!

    That error indicates that the string tables shared table data is null. Did you delete it?
    Can you try localization 1.0.1?

    I definitely didn't delete it. After restarting the Editor the references which I selected but didn't previously work do work now.
    I did upgrade from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 just now (didn't see how to update until I looked it up after you pointed out there's a new version). When I add a new entry to my string table it seems to immediately work now!

    However, when I load and play my scene with my Language select dropdown I get these 4 errors:

    It was the top result on Google when searching for "unity localization", good to know there's something newer.
    The example in the old link still worked with 1.0.0 for switching langauges with a dropdown, with the exception that I had to add
    using UnityEngine.Localization.Settings;


    Anyways, I ran the Addressables Analyzer and it seemed to have fixed my problem....
    But now my whole Editor occasionaly freezes when switching languages, both with my code or with the Localization Scene Controls. It seems to work when I start the editor, hit play and then can change the locale back and forth as much as I want, but when I stop Playing hit play again, it always freezes on the first switch. Complete freeze, I have to close it with task manager.

    Also, is it supposed to always set the Langauge to "None" on Editor start?
    I thought according to this it should always start with English https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/c...uideWithVariants.html#choose-a-default-locale

    My settings:
    upload_2021-9-23_22-12-8.png

    Any help appreciated and thanks for the help so far!

    When out of play mode the language will be None. We have the play mode language which is picked using the Locale Selectors and then out of play mode the editor language which will be None(default) or the one that it was before you entered playmode. The idea being you can switch between languages in edit mode to preview them but then switch back to None when making general changes in the Editor so that you dont have the overhead. More info on the settings are here https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.localization@1.0/manual/LocalizedPropertyVariants.html



    If you are able to reproduce the locking editor then please file a bug report so we can look into it.

    Ok, so is it supposed to switch when hitting play? Cause it stays at none. Or am I supposed to use something like
    LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocale = LocalizationSettings.AvailableLocales.Locales[index];


    Because when I use that code, it doesn't switch back to none after I stop playing.


    It does happen relyable how I've described, I'll have to check if it happens also when I start a new project I guess.

    Hmm it should switch when entering playmode. If you do manage to reproduce it then please file a bug report.
