Localization, getting a translation in another language than the one loaded.
« on: September 04, 2014, 02:21:35 AM »
Is there any way of getting a text in another language than the one set in Localization? For example. I want to send a notification to a friend who speaks another language. So I want to get the notification-text in his language rather than mine without changing language completely.

Why not send the localization key, and have each player localize it themselves using their chosen language?

Because I'm using notifications which can be delivered straight to the OS if the app is closed. Which means I can't intercept and translate it.

Well, NGUI was designed with a chosen language in mind. In your case if you want to get the value of a different language, you will need to access Localization.dictionary, and get the values from there.
