Language Switcher in the respective Language

Unity Engine

Hey guys, first I really like the new Localization system. It nearly worked right out of the box.

I have a problem with the language switcher ingame. I looked at the manual for reference and got it to work.
But every locale ist written in englisch (As in the example).

  • English
  • German
    etc…

Do you have an easy Solution to display the locale name in the respective Language ? like:

  • English
  • Deutsch
  • Francais

Thanks for your help!

We have updated the sample in 0.10.0 so that it shows the native name. Here is the updated dropdown code.

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine.Localization.Settings;
using UnityEngine.ResourceManagement.AsyncOperations;
using UnityEngine.UI;

namespace UnityEngine.Localization.Samples
{
   /// <summary>
   /// This example shows how a language selection menu can be implemented using UGUI.
   /// </summary>
   [RequireComponent(typeof(Dropdown))]
   public class LanguageSelectionMenuUGUIDropdown : MonoBehaviour
   {
       Dropdown m_Dropdown;
       AsyncOperationHandle m_InitializeOperation;

       void Start()
       {
           // First we setup the dropdown component.
           m_Dropdown = GetComponent<Dropdown>();
           m_Dropdown.onValueChanged.AddListener(OnSelectionChanged);

           // Clear the options an add a loading message while we wait for the localization system to initialize.
           m_Dropdown.ClearOptions();
           m_Dropdown.options.Add(new Dropdown.OptionData("Loading..."));
           m_Dropdown.interactable = false;

           // SelectedLocaleAsync will ensure that the locales have been initialized and a locale has been selected.
           m_InitializeOperation = LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocaleAsync;
           if (m_InitializeOperation.IsDone)
           {
               InitializeCompleted(m_InitializeOperation);
           }
           else
           {
               m_InitializeOperation.Completed += InitializeCompleted;
           }
       }

       void InitializeCompleted(AsyncOperationHandle obj)
       {
           // Create an option in the dropdown for each Locale
           var options = new List<string>();
           int selectedOption = 0;
           var locales = LocalizationSettings.AvailableLocales.Locales;
           for (int i = 0; i < locales.Count; ++i)
           {
               var locale = locales[i];
               if (LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocale == locale)
                   selectedOption = i;

               var displayName = locales[i].Identifier.CultureInfo != null ? locales[i].Identifier.CultureInfo.NativeName : locales[i].ToString();
               options.Add(displayName);
           }

           // If we have no Locales then something may have gone wrong.
           if (options.Count == 0)
           {
               options.Add("No Locales Available");
               m_Dropdown.interactable = false;
           }
           else
           {
               m_Dropdown.interactable = true;
           }

           m_Dropdown.ClearOptions();
           m_Dropdown.AddOptions(options);
           m_Dropdown.SetValueWithoutNotify(selectedOption);

           LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocaleChanged += LocalizationSettings_SelectedLocaleChanged;
       }

       void OnSelectionChanged(int index)
       {
           // Unsubscribe from SelectedLocaleChanged so we don't get an unnecessary callback from the change we are about to make.
           LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocaleChanged -= LocalizationSettings_SelectedLocaleChanged;

           var locale = LocalizationSettings.AvailableLocales.Locales[index];
           LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocale = locale;

           // Resubscribe to SelectedLocaleChanged so that we can stay in sync with changes that may be made by other scripts.
           LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocaleChanged += LocalizationSettings_SelectedLocaleChanged;
       }

       void LocalizationSettings_SelectedLocaleChanged(Locale locale)
       {
           // We need to update the dropdown selection to match.
           var selectedIndex = LocalizationSettings.AvailableLocales.Locales.IndexOf(locale);
           m_Dropdown.SetValueWithoutNotify(selectedIndex);
       }
   }
}
