Bug: Labels translated in Editor invalidates term

More

Everytime I deactivate and reactivate a game object in the Editor(!) my text labels get translated which in turn invalidate the Localize.Term key because I2L tries to find a key which is actually translated text. This is very annoying because it destroys all translations as you redesign your scene a bit. We already wrote a editor script which fixes this bug in the opposite direction by finding translated texts and write the keys back to the labels.

I2L 2.6.4 b2, Unity 5.3.2

Hi,
I have been trying to reproduce that issue but haven't been able to. Can you please list me the steps you do to reproduce this problem?

This is what I tried:
1- Opened the example scene "UnityStandard Localization"
2- Enabled and disabled several times the textMesh (but that didn't affect the translations)

3- Changed the main term to <none> so that the Localize component started inferring the term from the label's text.
4- Again, enabled and disabled several times the textMesh

Am I missing any step?

Thanks,
Frank

I just tried it on a fresh project and was able to reproduce it.

1. Create a Canvas with an empty GameObject containing a Text as a child
2. Add a Term key to the Text component and add a Localize component
3. Clone the GameObject

Here what you should have:
Canvas
    GameObject
        Text: Text.text="MyTerm" + Localize.term="MyTerm"
    GameObject (1)
        Text: Text.text="MyTerm" + Localize.term="MyTerm"

4. Deactivate and reactivate the Text GameObject
5. Click on the other Text
6. Deactivate and reactivate the Text GameObject
7. Repeat 4-6 until the text is translated. It should occurs after repeating it 2-3 times.

Hi,
Thanks, I was able to reproduce your issue.
The problem was that when a term its not selected from the term popup, and instead its "inferred" from the label's text, then its called an inferred term and if the text changes, the term changes as well.
If you select the term from the popup, then it will be set to a "normal" term and if you clone the object, it will be fine.

Nonetheless, I see that can be a problem on most setups, so I went and changed the logic of inferred term. Now the Localize component, as soon as it founds a term in the source matching that inferred term, then it switches its type to "normal".
Which means, that as soon as you type the text matching a term in the source, it will use that one and stick with that until you select something else from the popup.

version 2.6.4 b4 its now in the beta folder.

Hope that helps,
Frank
