Resolved Updating LocalizeStringEvent to get specific key

Please bear with me but I'm still noobs, and also English is not my mother tongue
I need to get a specific key at runtime, and to do that, I try to get LocalizedStringEvent Component and set the StringReference so it will update my TextMeshPro component and I will be able to test the text in Game Mode.

Is that the correct way to do things?

Code (CSharp):

1. private string LocalizeName()
2. {
3.      localizedString = GetComponent<LocalizeStringEvent>();
4.      TableReference tableReference;
5.      tableReference = item.GetCategory();
6.  
7.      return localizedString.StringReference.GetLocalizedString(tableReference, item.GetName());
8. }
9.  

At the moment I'm using this method, which is not working because:

ArgumentException: Empty Table Reference. Must contain a Guid or Table Collection Name

but I'm trying to pass the correct name.

 

In Debug.Log I've printed out the item.GetName and item.GetCategory
but I still getting the error:

ArgumentException: Empty Table Reference. Must contain a Guid or Table Collection Name

UnityEngine.Localization.Tables.TableReference.Validate () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.localization@1.3.2/Runtime/Tables/TableReference.cs:167)

 

I was just working on it with VS debugging tool
in Immediate windows I get

Code (CSharp):

1. tableReference.TableCollectionName
2. "Weapons"

Also the data are there, so why I can't extract it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Ok definitely isn't working

 

And we are going back to

localizedString.StringReference.GetLocalizedString("Weapons");

Failed to find a match for GetLocalizedString(string)

Code (CSharp):

1. tableReference
2. "TableReference(Weapons)"
3.     ReferenceType: Name
4.     SharedTableData: "Weapons(Shared Table Data)"
5.     TableCollectionName: "Weapons"
6.     TableCollectionNameGuid: "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
7.     m_TableCollectionName: "Weapons"
8.     m_Valid: false

Why its not valid?

 m_Valid: false

 

Sure this is another way to achive it,

Code (CSharp):

1. private string LocalizeName()
2.         {
3.             Debug.Log(item.GetName() + " " + item.GetCategory());
4.  
5.             LocalizeStringEvent localizedString = GetComponent<LocalizeStringEvent>();
6.             LocalizedString myString = new LocalizedString { TableReference = item.GetCategory(), TableEntryReference = item.GetName() };
7.  
8.             return myString.GetLocalizedString();
9.         }    

but I don't get how I set the StringReference in the Localize String Event component

 

Yes, I read it and watched a couple of tutorials, but what I'm doing here is to fill a dynamic table with dynamic rows, so I need to fill the String Reference at runtime.
But if I made it with the script above I can't test the translation with this menu, and that's the reason of this thread


Anyway thank you for you infinite patience

Oh but at this point couldn't be more simple than that xD

Code (CSharp):

1. private string LocalizeName()
2.         {
3.             Debug.Log(item.GetName() + " " + item.GetCategory());
4.  
5.             LocalizeStringEvent localizedString = GetComponent<LocalizeStringEvent>();
6.             LocalizedString myString = new LocalizedString { TableReference = item.GetCategory(), TableEntryReference = item.GetName() };
7.            
8.            // Update the String Reference into the Component =)
9.             localizedString.StringReference = myString;
10.  
11.             return myString.GetLocalizedString();
12.         }

 

Got it, thank you again
