Using a different Dialogue Manager in each scene that only survives in that scene would work better for me.

I did as advised and added this code to the Awake() of the dialogue scenes:

Code: Select all

DialogueManager.SetLanguage(PlayerPrefs.GetString("Language"));

But this is not working and the default english is being picked up. I then did a

Code: Select all

Debug.LogWarning(PlayerPrefs.GetString("Language"));

And its coming up as empty, thats why it may not be setting the language. But the following:

Code: Select all

Debug.LogWarning(PlayerPrefs.HasKey("Language"));

returns True, so the Key exists but the language string is not being saved to it.

Hi,

Inspect any Dialogue Manager. Expand Display Settings > Localization Settings, and click Reset Language PlayerPrefs.

Then change your Awake() method to:

Code: Select all

void Awake()
{
    if (PlayerPrefs.HasKey("Language")) DialogueManager.SetLanguage(PlayerPrefs.GetString("Language"));
}

Let me know if that resolves the issue.

That did not help unfortunately, and the dialogue language did not change even after the advised resetting language player prefs in dialogue manager.

I am also using Lean Localization plugin to localize the UI, so I thought that maybe it is overwriting the "Language" key, but that is not the case, when I dug into the code, its saving under a different key, which is:

Code: Select all

PlayerPrefs.SetString("LeanLocalization.CurrentLanguage", currentLanguage);

So that is not the reason.

So, I decided to use a different key and manually call the PlayerPref.SetString() with this new key:

Code: Select all

if (language == "French")
        {
            DialogueManager.SetLanguage("fr");
            PlayerPrefs.SetString("dialogue_language", "fr");
        }            
        else if (language == "German")
        {
            DialogueManager.SetLanguage("de");
            PlayerPrefs.SetString("dialogue_language", "de");
        }            
        else if (language == "Portuguese")
        {
            DialogueManager.SetLanguage("pt");
            PlayerPrefs.SetString("dialogue_language", "pt");
        }

And then use this to load:

Code: Select all

DialogueManager.SetLanguage(PlayerPrefs.GetString("dialogue_language"));

With this change the dialogue text changes

Even now when I do

Code: Select all

Debug.LogWarning(PlayerPrefs.GetString("Language"));

it still returns empty, so for some reason the "Language" player pref is not saving or is being overwritten somewhere.

Hi,

In that case it sounds like it's not using the "Language" PlayerPrefs, which is fine since you're handling it differently.
