Numbers and <brackets> scrambled by I2 Component

I am posting this as a new topic, as it seems to be a unique problem for I2 Localization

I am having problems with the Localize Component scrambling the text of a Text component. (not GUI Text, but the new UI Text component in Unity)

Specifically, numbers are turned into random symbols and brackets ( < > ) are reversed. I am trying to implement Rich Text using I2 Localization so this completely destroys any tags I am entering.

In the inspector for my text object (containing a text component and a localize component) I can see the formatted rich text correctly in the localize component:

<size=40><b>Title 01</b></size>
<size=36>Name <i>object 56</i></size>

When I copy and paste this text directly into the text component it works perfectly, but when the localization script sets the text it scrambles the numbers and symbols giving me this:

>size=٤٠<>b<Title ٠١>/b<>/size<
>i<object ٥٦>/i<>/size< >size=٣٦<Name


I am using a basic font (HelveticaNeue-Light) and other fonts such as Arial have the same problem.

I am assuming this is a problem with I2Localize as directly copy and pasting the text works fine.

I have updated to the recent 2.6 version from the Asset Store but am still experiencing this problem.


Here is an example of numbers being scrambled without formatting:

Text in I2 Localization Component:

sample number: 56754


Text Set in Text Component:

٥٦٧٥٤ sample number:


This kind of seems like a big problem... I am surprised that there are not other topics with this issue-

Thanks for the help!

no problem, thanks for getting back to me on this!

I am using Unity 5.1.1 f1 (64 bit)
