Right to Left Text problem in Dialogue System

Hi,
How are you using I2 Localization + Dialog System.
By default Dialog System has a built-in localization and doesn't use I2 Localization. Integrating both plugins is possible, and there are several users who are using both at the same time.

I'm curious about how you are using them together. The fix for that issue will depend on how you integrate them.

Are you adding a Localize component to your Texts and made Dialog System call SetTerm ?
Are you handling all by code and calling LocalizationManager.GetTranslation when Dialog System needs a translation?

Hi,
Unfortunately, I don't have the Dialog System plugin to inspect the code, but from what I'm reading in the integration steps you listed:
www.pixelcrushers.com/dialogue_system/ma...i2_localization.html

That's not actually integrating I2 Localization with Dialog System. That keeps using the Dialog System localization and just uses I2 Localization as a way to translate terms in the editor or sync with Google Spreadsheet. But none of the runtime features of I2 Localization are used (except for reading the CurrentLanguage string).

That works fine if you just need the translations done, and the code you posted should work fine for fixing RTL issues.

But if you need more features (e.g. Parameters-> to dynamically change the player's name or other data, Plurals, etc) then the integration should be done a bit different.

Instead of storing the actual text in Dialog System, you should save the Term's name, and then whenever you do
formattedText.text = xxx.formattedText.text

you can do:
formattedText.text = I2.Localization.GetTranslation(xxx.formattedText.text)

That way, parameters, plurals, rtl fix, etc is automatically handled at runtime by I2 Localization.
And even better, if you link Google Spreadsheets with I2L, then if you change a translation in the spreadsheet, that change is automatically downloaded and used in your player's devices without deploying a new build.

Hope that helps,
Frank
