Add in terms from other source

Hi,

I have been using i2-localise for some time now and its great. I've been writing my own tool to help out with my game and I'd like (if possible) to be able to add terms to the dictionary from my editor window.

I've had a look at how terms are added in the i2 localise editor window, but it doesn't look like I can access it. If its not possible, its fine, I was just trying to make the process off adding these items into my game and be localised a little easier.

Thanks

Hi,

To add terms dynamically you should use the AddTerm function in the LanguageSource, then fill your translations and call UpdateDictionary and save project.
// This is the default LanguageSource (but you can select any other you want)
LanguageSource I2languages = I2.Loc.LocalizationManager.Sources [0];

// Create the term (if it doesn't already exist) and returns the struct that has all its translations
TermData data = I2Languages.AddTerm( "Term Hello", eTermType.Text, false );

// Fill the translations
data.Languages[ I2Languages.GetLanguageIndex("English") ] = "English Translation";
data.Languages[ I2Languages.GetLanguageIndex("Spanish") ] = "Traduccion al espannol";

// Update the Dictionary (only needed In-Game)
I2Languages.UpdateDictionary(true);

// Mark the source as dirty so that unity save it when you close the project
EditorUtility.SetDirty(I2Languages);

// You can also do this to force saving it (although you should call this last line only after you added all the terms you need)
AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();

In this threads there is a bit more of detail:

This example no longer seems functional. If you could update it that'd be great!

For the most part I was able to get it working myself, but the EditorUtility.SetDirty(); is giving the error "Argument 1: cannot convert from 'I2.Loc.LanguageSourceData' to 'UnityEngine.Object'"

Also, how can I assign a category to the new term in code?

Hi,
Here is the updated code:
			// This is the default LanguageSource (but you can select any other you want)
            LanguageSourceData I2Languages = I2.Loc.LocalizationManager.Sources[0];

			// Create the term (if it doesn't already exist) and returns the struct that has all its translations
            TermData data = I2Languages.AddTerm( "Term Hello", eTermType.Text, false );

			// Fill the translations
            data.Languages[ I2Languages.GetLanguageIndex("English") ] = "English Translation";
            data.Languages[ I2Languages.GetLanguageIndex("Spanish") ] = "Traduccion al espannol";

			// Update the Dictionary (only needed In-Game)
            I2Languages.UpdateDictionary(true);

			// Mark the source as dirty so that unity save it when you close the project
            I2Languages.Editor_SetDirty();

			// You can also do this to force saving it (although you should call this last line only after you added all the terms you need)
            AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();   

Hope that helps,
Frank
