Localizing Selector Elements

[Keiji]

Hi Tony! We are at the moment localizing our game to german from english. Everything has worked great so far.

However, we have had some problems localizing the selector elements that pop up before interacting (for example 'Shopkeeper' 'Click To Purchase apples'). Is there a preferred way to localize the Usable components 'Override Name' and 'Override Use Message' fields for a character? I added the LocalizeUI script to both the corresponding selector elements, and added the Names and use messages to the text table. However, the selector only shows empty strings when I put the options into German. The objects that don't use an Override Name can be localized this way, however. Hope everything's going well for you!


Many regards, Keiji

Hi,

If you've set the Usable's Override Name to 'Shopkeeper', then the Selector will look for a translation in the Text Table assigned to the Dialogue Manager's Display Settings > Localization Settings > Text Table field, in the text table field named 'Shopkeeper'. Same for Override Use Message. There's no need for a Localize UI component on the Selector UI.

HI Tony,

Can you confirm whether the right way to go about making a text table for this purpose? It says deprecated in-engine.

Also, is there a way to change the default message without putting an override in every Usable* component?

Thank you.
