2.6.7
NEW: SpriteRenderer can now be localized



NEW: Translations can have Parameters (e.g. "The winner is {[WINNER]}") and at runtime the tag is replaced by its value by using a local or global parameter
NEW: Local parameters can be set by adding a LocalizationParamsManager component to the gameObject, and it has a list of parameters (i.e. <Name, Value> pairs)
NEW: Global parameters can be set by adding a ILocalizationParamsManager class to the LocalizationManager.ParamsManager list
NEW: Example Scene named "Callbacks and Parameters" showing how to modify the translations using Callbacks, Local Parameters and Global Parameters

NEW: Localized objects (Textures, sprites) can now be loaded from a bundled by registering a ResourceManager_Bundles (see RegisterBundlesManager.cs example)
NEW: ScriptLocalization.Get(term) will now automatically fix it for RTL if the current language is Right-To-Left (use .Get(term, false) to avoid that)
NEW: Parse Terms in Scripts will now match terms in the form "LocalizationManager.GetTermTranslation" as well as "ScriptLocalization.Get"
NEW: ScriptLocalization.cs is now autogenerated to avoid overriding existing localizations. That file is also now moved into the Assets\I2 folder

FIX: Expanding/Collapsing the Terms, References or OnLocalize Callback in the Localize component is now remembered
FIX: Changing <none> in the terms selection list by <inferred from text> as that's more understandable

2.6.8 a5

NEW: When a term is not defined for some language, it can be set to display (Empty, Fallback or a Warning) The setting is in I2Languages.prefab Language Tab



FIX: Right-To-Left languages will not adjust the alignment if the original alignment was CENTER
FIX: 2DToolkit now allows adjusting the alignment if the language is RTL

FIX: Add/Remove language was not marking the LanguageSource as dirty and the changes could have been getting lost
FIX: Copy/Paste a Localize component into a new GameObject will properly update the Target reference
FIX: If the WebService was set in a LanguageSource inside the scene and not in the I2Languages.prefab, Google Translate/Export/Import wasn't working.


2.6.8 b4

DEL: [i2auto] will not longer be used (if your spreadsheets have that, you should remove all [i2auto] texts and reimport to the LanguageSource)
DEL: Translations will not longer be marked as translated by google (this speed the import/export process)
NEW: Localize components will execute the Localization Callback even without a valid Translated Term.
NEW: When creating a term in the Localize component, the first language (e.g. English) will be auto-filled with the label's text

FIX: Compile errors when using an old version of TextMeshPro (requiring TextMeshPro_Pre53)
FIX: Texts for Right-To-Left languages containing multiple lines was showing extra lines when using \r\n for new lines

NEW: LocalizedString
NEW: Changing .NET CurrentCulture when the language changes is now optional. Its disabled by default and can be enabled by adding an AutoChangeCultureInfo component to your first scene
NEW: Terms can now be set to <none> to avoid localizing it (e.g. Don't localize Label's text, but do localize Label's font)
NEW: Languages can now be disabled (useful for having data columns in the spreadsheet) Just add a $ in front of the language name in the Spreadsheet or uncheck the toggle in the LanguageSource


FIX: Event_OnSourceUpdateFromGoogle is now called with ReceivedNewData==false whenever the languagesource is up-to-date
FIX: Auto-detection of plugins was not working correctly for IOS
FIX: Removed warning "Unsupported encoding: 'UTF-8,text/plain'" that was happening when translating a text

NEW: Button next to the plurals tab to show if the DisabledLanguages should show the translation or should be hidden
NEW: Massive inspector speed improvement when Parsing terms, selecting a LanguageSource, etc
NEW: LocalizationManager.ApplyLocalizationParams now accepts a general GameObject instead of forcing a LocalizeCmp. This allows using LOCAL parameters without localize component
NEW: added options for parameters when calling ScriptLocalization.Get(term, true, 0, false, applyParameters:true, localParamsRoot:gameObject)
NEW: Clicking a Translation in the Localize component will now Preview that language in the entire UI
NEW: Added a button at the top of the Term's List in the LanguageSource to refresh the translation shown in the Scene (calls LocalizeAll(true))
NEW: Menu option to also call the LocalizeAll (Menu/I2/Localization/Refresh Translations). This is useful if the translation is changed and should be updated in several UI elements
NEW: LocalizationManager.GetTermsList() now can have a parameter to only show the terms of that category (e.g. .GetTermsList("Tutorial"))
NEW: LocalizationManager.HasLanguage(..) and .GetAllLanguages(..) now has optional parameter SkipDisabled to skip disabled languages. Default=true

FIX: Disabling a language will skip it when selecting the startup language

FIX: Alignment option for TextMeshPro now works with the latest TextMeshPro version (v1.0.55.52 Beta 3)
FIX: LocalizationManager.LocalizeAll is now internally handled at the end of the frame (using a coroutine) to handle multiple localization in the same frame and timing issues when start Playing
FIX: A term will no longer show as missing translation (yellow + italics) if the missing translation belongs to a disabled language
FIX: ResourceManager.CleanResourceCache will now only be called when a level is loaded to avoid frame rate spikes in the middle of the game
FIX: Added support for the new TextMeshPro (free version)
