Can't access global source from UnityScript

Can't access global source from UnityScript was created by pedrevans
I have an application written in UnityScript ("JavaScript") with new UI components.
Documentation says that it's possible to access the global source without instantiating the prefab in every scene.
For test purposes I want to change the language from the Default.
The documentation says to use something like the following code
When I do this I get an Unknown Identifier "LocalizationManager" error at compile time (unsurprising).
I'd be grateful for a tip on how to make this work

Hi,
There is a problem with I2 and JavaScript because of the order in which unity compiles.
I2 supports several plugins (NGUI, TextMeshPro, etc). Most of they are not in the Plugins folder (which is compiled first). So, I had to place the I2 outside of the plugins folder to be able of accessing those plugins.
Problem is that from JavaScript you can't access C# things that are outside the Plugins.
If you are using the new Unity UI (not NGUI, TextMeshpro or other targets), then you could move I2 into the plugins folder.
That way you can access its classes from within your JavaScripts.

Also, in your code you need to add:
or add I2.Loc before the LocalizationManager:
Hope that helps,
Frank

Hi,
To make it work you should move the code into the OnEnable or Start function.
When the language is changed, it iterates thru all of the Localize components and localize them. But some of them could be missed while in the Awake pass.
Also, you could call LocalizationManager.LocalizeAll() to be sure. If you are actually changing the language, it will automatically call that function, but if the previous language was the same you are setting, then it could skip that call.
Can I ask, what are trying to achieve by setting the language initially?
The plugin does a few things for you:
- The first time your game starts, it will use the Device Language. That setting is saved on the PlayerPrefs for the next time the game starts.
- If the language is not found, then it uses the first language in the Localization Source.
So, if you going to set the language on startup to German, just make that language be the first in your Language Source. That way it will be picked up on startup.
Unless the device settings is set to Chinese or other supported language in which case that language will be prioritized as it could make more sense.
Hope that helps,
Frank
