Variable ["Alert"] Is it possible to translate?

[minomod]

I would like to have a different message for each country.

[Tony Li]

Yes. Alert text isn't considered dialogue text, so the translations for alert text need to be in a localized text table assigned to the Dialogue Manager's Display Settings > Localization Settings > Localized Text.

If the localized text table has a field for "ABCD", then the alert will automatically use the language-specific version of that field.

[minomod]

Are you talking about this menu?

[Tony Li]

No. To localize alerts and non-dialogue UI elements, you'll use a different type of asset file called a Localized Text Table, not a dialogue database. The Localized Text Table's inspector looks like this:

and this:

After creating the Localized Text Table, remember to assign it to the Dialogue Manager.

[minomod]

Dialogue System: Lua code 'LocalizedTextTable[abcd];' threw exception 'Lookup of field '' in the table element failed because the table element itself isn't in the table.'

[Tony Li]

You only need this Script field:

Code: Select all

Variable["Alert"] = "ABCD"

Because you assigned a Localized Text Table to the Dialogue Manager, it will automatically look up "ABCD" and use the translation.
