How to bulk generate missing localization tables for new locales?

[dchipman]

Is there an option to bulk generate any missing locale string tables for all collections rather than manually selecting each collection and pressing the add buttons manually?

This is a bit of a chore to do any time a new language will be added. Importing a CSV with a new language added does not automatically add the locales either.

If there’s not an option in the UI to do this, is there a code sample or documentation that I could reference to make an editor script to handle this?

Thank you.

Hi,
There’s no way to do this through the UI, but I will add a task to look into adding one to our backlog.
You can do this through script.

This should do what you need:

[MenuItem("Localization/Add Missing Tables")]
public static void AddMissingTables()
{
    foreach (var stringTableCollection in LocalizationEditorSettings.GetStringTableCollections())
    {
        foreach (var locale in LocalizationEditorSettings.GetLocales())
        {
            var table = stringTableCollection.GetTable(locale.Identifier);
            if (table == null)
            {
                // Add table
                table = stringTableCollection.AddNewTable(locale.Identifier);
            }
        }
    }
}

That does the trick, thank you for your assistance!
