Title: Localise a string with a variable
Post by: Meltdown on March 08, 2014, 11:23:58 PM

I'm trying to localise a string with a variable using String.Format  (as mentioned by Aaron in another post)...

This is my localisation string

HELLO_STRING=Hello {0}, welcome to the club

This is the code I'm using to set the variable

1. _speechLabel.GetComponent<UILocalize>().key = "HELLO_STRING";
2. _speechLabel.GetComponent<UILocalize>().Localize();
3. _speechLabel.text = String.Format(_speechLabel.text, "Bob");

But no matter what I try, the {0} still always appear in my game and never gets replace with 'Bob'.

Thanks

1. _speechLabel.text = string.Format(Localization.Get("HELLO_STRING"), "Bob");

Thanks for that. Although it seems there is a bug.

If I have...

1. private UILocalize _speechLabelLocalise;
2.  
3. void Start()
4. {
5. if (_speechLabel != null)
6.             _speechLabelLocalise = _speechLabel.GetComponent<UILocalize>();
7. }
8.  
9. void SetText(string key)
10. {
11. _speechLabelLocalise.key = key;
12. _speechLabel.text = string.Format(Localization.instance.Get("HELLO_STRING"), "Bob");
13. }

It never applies the Bob value to the string.

I need to remove this line if I want it to work.

1. _speechLabelLocalise.key = key;
2.  

How can I set this variable and set the key of the label too?

Don't even bother attaching UILocalize.

You are doing localization manually via code. UILocalize is for automatic localization. The line I posted is all you need.
