Class PreviewLocalization

Best-effort, edit-mode translation of localization keys for the View Preview, so the preview shows the same text the game would instead of raw keys (which are much longer and overflow the screen).

Syntax

public static class PreviewLocalization

Remarks

The runtime localization service isn't available in edit mode, so this reads the project's StringTableCollections directly through the editor Localization API via reflection — that way this file compiles and runs even if the Localization package/API isn't present or changes; any failure reads as a miss, which renders the game's own missing-key text. Among the tables that have a value for a key, LocalePreviewMatcher picks the one matching LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocale (via Serenity.Global.Infrastructure.Editor.UnityLocalizationLocaleEditorUtils), falling back to English, then to any hit. Results are cached.

Methods

ClearCache()

Drops cached lookups (e.g. when the user hits Refresh).

Declaration

public static void ClearCache()

HasTranslation(string)

Whether any of the project's string tables has a translation for key.

Declaration

public static bool HasTranslation(string key)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	key

Returns

Type	Description
bool

Translate(string)

Translates key to the project's text. A key no string table has renders exactly as the running game renders it (For(string)) — a missing-key message under the project's Localization Settings — so the preview shows the defect instead of hiding it.

Declaration

public static string Translate(string key)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	key

Returns

Type	Description
string

TryTranslate(string, out string)

Looks key up in the project's string tables.

Declaration

public static bool TryTranslate(string key, out string text)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	key	The localization key.
string	text	The translation for the selected locale, or null on a miss.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True when a string table translates the key.
