Changing text with 2D Toolkit was created by JHoffstein
Hello again! I'm using I2 Localization with 2D Toolkit. In my scenes I frequently update the text in the tk2d TextMesh, but I'm not sure how to get this to update the localized text as well. For example:

TextMesh reads "KEY A", which gets localized to "This is Key A". I then update the TextMesh to "KEY B". It now reads "KEY B", instead of being properly localized to "This is Key B."

How can I do this? Do I need to have individual TextMesh objects for every different string I want to localize?

Thanks,
Jenna

To change the term at runtime, you only need to get the Localize component you added to your TextMesh, assign the new Term to the MainTranslation (thats the primary term) and call OnLocalize.
I2.Loc.Localize LocalizeCp = TextMeshGO.GetComponent<I2.Loc.Localize>();

LocalizeCp.MainTranslation = "KEY B";
LocalizeCp.OnLocalize();

Thanks,

For anyone using Playmaker with 2d Toolkit, here's how I was able to accomplish this:

1) Use the "Set Property" action to set the new term (aka localization key) that you want. Drag the localize script on your textmesh into the "Target Object" field, and select "mTerm" as your Property. Type in whatever you want your new key to be.

2) Use the "Call Method" action to call OnLocalize. Again, drag the localize script on your textmesh into "Behavior", then type "OnLocalize" (without the quotes) into the Method Name field. You don't need any parameters.

Here's what my state looks like:
