tool for localization (language support) in unity This was modified from the Unity tutorial on Localization - https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/scripting/overview-and-goals?playlist=17117
they used a String-on-String dictionary, I don't like remembering strings to look up other strings or the risk of making typos so I built on their code by creating a LocalizationEnum Key which contains a list of all the potential things:
[System.Serializable]
public class LocalizationEnum
{
public enum Key{
Menu_Title = 0,
Menu_Quit = 1,
Common_Stop = 50,
Common_Go = 51,
Common_Yes = 52,
Common_No = 53,
Panel_Something_Title = 100,
Lorem_Lorem = 250,
Lorem_OrangePeel = 251,
Lorem_Cake = 252,
Lorem_Donut = 253,
}
}To use:
- Place the editor script in your Editor Folder,
- rewrite the LocalizationEnum to contain the things you care about, I numbered all of the items and gave myself plenty of room for unknown-unknowns I may add to the app later on
- go to Window > Localization Text Editor and populate your data (or use a spreadsheet to create the JSON , will make translating easier later on)
- save it in StreamingAssets
- put LocalizedText script on any text object and pick which of the Enums it should be
