Hi,
Sorry, I haven't documented it too much (if anything) aside of the example in
Assets\I2\Localization\Examples\Common\Scripts\RegisterBundlesManager.cs
The basic idea is that if you are loading AssetBundles and want to allow I2 Localization to access assets inside those bundles, then you have to create a class similar to the RegisterBundlesManager and add that into one of your scenes.
That class should implement the LoadFromBundle function that given the name/path of the asset it should load it and return it for I2 Localization to use it:
For example:
That approach works fine if you are managing your AssetBundles already.
For those who are not managing them, In one of the next release (most likely 2.7.0) I'm going to add a CustomAssetBundleManager, that could do Async loading (e.g. the plugin request the asset, if the bundle is not loaded yet, then it is downloaded and loaded, and at that point the localization runs again)
Hope that helps. And I'm going to write this section in the Documentation (I was waiting for finishing the CustomAssetBundleManager, and then write the complete doc, but I will do a draft so that it can help others while the full version is done!)

At the moment when the ResourceManager was created, Addressables were not yet a "thing", so it doesn't support async loading of objects.
I'm going to try adding that asap to the plugin and upload a new version.
In the meantime, one way around is to write your own BundlesManager that when gets a LoadFromBundle call, it starts loading async the object and just returns null.
Then, when all the objects are loaded, it places them in a cache dictionary and calls the LocalizationManager to update the localization. That will trigger the call to LoadFromBundle again and this time you already have the object you need in the cache, so you return it and the plugin will be able to use it.
Its not the best option, but at least will allow you to move forward until the next release is out.
Hope that helps,
Frank

Hi,
I2 Localization has no build in support for Addressables, but it can work exactly as any other of your assets.
If you add the LanguageSource to a bundle or mark it as addressable, it will be bundled, and then you just need to instantiate/load it on startup. As soon as is loaded from the bundle it will auto-register in the localization manager.
So, just create an script that on Start loads the LanguageSource from your bundle and all its terms will be available to the LocalizationManager.
Said that, I will add in the next release an example of how to set that up and have an script to auto-load from addressable on startup.
