Referensed Fonts atlases swapping

Hi,

I’m glad you found the plugin useful!

Here is a way around your issues:

1- Reference Atlas/Fonts

I also have used Reference atlases in my projects, here is how I set it up:
I have a different atlas for each of the resolutions:
Then, I created a Placeholder atlas which is using the NGUI mReplacement functionality to use the data from the resolution dependent ones.
However given that you want to make localized copies of the Atlas1, you also need to make localized copies of the resolution dependent ones:
Once you have all those atlases ready, then you can setup the UI Localization to switch between Atlas1_ES or Atlas1_CH depending on the language.
And then use RetinaPro or your own scripts to make the selected Atlas (e.g. Atlas1_CH) to point to the correct replacementAtlas (Atlas1_CH_BIG, Atlas1_CH_LOW)

The Atlas1_ES and Atlas1_CH are regular NGUI Atlases so they can be assigned to the Localize component without problem.
The same structure works for Reference Fonts.

For the next I2 Localization version I will add a sample scene using the above setup to show how the replacement atlases working with I2 Localization.

But if you still have issues with that setup, let me know and I can further explain that structure.

2- Accessing Google

The problem you are facing could be one of the following things:
- If the project’s target is set to Web Player then the policies will not allow the google dlls to access Google. For my Web project I have to switch to PC do all the localization and then switch back to Web.

- Make sure that your account has access to the spreadsheet your opening.

- Are you using the latest version (2.0.1) ?

- Sometimes you need to open a browser and log into google (gmail or gdrive) before exporting/importing spreadsheets. Usually just by providing your credentials in the Editor it will connect fine, but in the past I have seen cases where it couldn’t connect unless there is an open tab in your default browser with your account logged in. I will try reproducing that again and see if it’s an issue on Mac as I remember that I got that problem when using a Mac.

- The key you are using for the spreadsheet (1FK2i-CUnAxAhDmyppZhY26cI7VkleJFJRpzzTN2scV4) seems a bit weird to me. I have never seen a key with a “–“ in-between. Please, verify that key is correct. Try creating a new Spreadsheet in your google drive and access that one instead to rule out any other issue.

If after checking those points, you still can’t connect to your google spreadsheet, please let me know if you are using a shared spreadsheet, if the spreadsheet is in your gdrive or in other’s account gdrive. If by clicking the Refresh button in the Editor Google section you are able to select the spreadsheet in the dropdown list.

I will try reproducing that issue and finding a way around, but any further info that could help me match your setup will be helpful.

Thanks a lot,
Frank

Hi,

You were right. While it was possible to use referenced Atlases when targeting NGUI, I just had dynamic fonts coded in.
Now I added Bitmap Fonts as well in a similar way to how you set it up. Thanks for detecting that only dynamic fonts were supported! I will be releasing those changes in version 2.0.2 in the next few days with a few other improvements.

Regarding Google, I have been trying to reproduce that issue. I tried on both Win and Mac, Having public or private Spreadsheets. Also tested having spreadsheets inside folders or just in the root. But I have always been able to export/import.

I have a question though. Are you introducing the spreadsheet key by copy/pasting it or are you having the editor look into your google Drive by clicking the Refresh button, and then selecting the spreadsheet from the dropdown list so that the editor finds for you the correct key?

Also, once you have the key set, if you click the Refresh button, the editor will look into your google drive, download the name of all your spreadsheets, and if there is one that matches the key you set, it will list the spreadsheet name in the "In Google Drive" dropdown. Does that happens for you or the dropdown just show as empty/has nothing selected?

I really want to help you solve the issue as accessing Google Spreadsheets is one of the most useful features in the plugin.

Hi,
I2 provides event callbacks for changing the translations at runtime.

The Unity Standard Components example scene contains a label that uses callback for correct concatenation.
That way the translation:

  

can be parsed before displayed and the {winner} section can be replaced by some value that makes sense within your game (e.g. "Red Player Wins")

That allows for correct concatenation on different languages:
(In Spanish the color will be in the middle of the sentence)

Also, the replaced part can be translated by accessing the terms in the Script. Therefore, if you know that the winner is the Red, instead of concatenating "Red", that can also be translated and concatenated in the correct language (e.g. "El jugador rojo ha ganado")

Hope that helps.

I'm still trying to reproduce your issue with google, but so far it always export/import for me. Can you email me so that I could send you a test spreadsheet that I know its working. That way we could rule out any issue with the terms in your list.

Thanks,
Frank
