No Locales were available

juhanap · February 17, 2021, 9:42pm

I’m pulling my hair out. Cannot figure out why Unity cannot load Locales.

I have Unity 2020.2.4f1 and Localization 0.10 preview installed. Followed quickstart from Quick Start Guide | Localization | 0.10.0-preview and created string table. For now, it have only en-locale. Also took PreloadingScreen sample from Localization. Still, Locales will be null all the time.

In Project Settings, Available Locales has English(en). Also, this is in Spesific Locale Selector.
Addressables have been built, then Google → Build and run to run on Android.

Hi, try this Localization works fine in the Player, but not in a compiled build

There’s a bug in addressables, we are waiting for a fix but this Will work around it for now.

Also try turning off code stripping

juhanap · February 18, 2021, 6:50am

Tried but no luck. Code stripping is disable and set to low. Changed bundle naming to Append hash to filename.

Still the problem remains, no locales and and localization.

juhanap · February 18, 2021, 7:15am

Package Manager shows Addressable 1.16.13, there is newer 1.16.16. Tried updating, after that I cannot build Addressables anymore, Addressables Groups is totally empty.

karl_jones · February 18, 2021, 8:22am

Delete the locales addressable group and then in the localization settings click the add all for locales.

juhanap · February 18, 2021, 8:52am

No luck. Even tried to generate all locales but nothing.

Well, need to discard this and try other tool.

karl_jones · February 18, 2021, 9:08am

Could you share the full log file with the error?
Also when you re-created the group did you change the name back to Append+Hash?

juhanap · February 18, 2021, 9:39am

Names are with Append and hash. Addressables build clean and then build again. Struggling days for now, different Unity versions, different localization versions. It’s sometimes working in player but not in device. Cannot spend anymore time on this, have to be productive.

karl_jones · February 18, 2021, 9:43am

Are you able to share your project? I can take a look

juhanap · February 18, 2021, 1:50pm

Sorry but cannot share this project. Already included assets what should not go outside and stripping those will be pain.

Btw, this Does the Localization tool work with PS4? has same errors in log what I saw.

karl_jones · February 18, 2021, 2:21pm

Thanks. Its an Addressables issue that seems to be related to stripping. Ill see if the team have an update.

juhanap · February 18, 2021, 2:24pm

Does not matter do I have code stripping enabled or not. Tried both ways and in both it cannot find locales.

karl_jones · February 18, 2021, 2:25pm

Is it always the same error?
Can you share the full log file? There may be something important missing before the error message.

SinedDV · February 18, 2021, 2:52pm

Good afternoon, Karl.
I have the same problems, only build WebGL. I would like to help solve the problem.

karl_jones · February 18, 2021, 3:05pm

Update to the latest Unity patch version
Update to the latest Addressable Assets package in the package manager.
Try disabling code stripping
Ensure that the Addressable groups are using Append+Hash naming https://discussions.unity.com/t/828258/23
Clean and Rebuild Addressables. When Building make sure the Editor is set to the target platform in the Build Settings window.

If the above does not work then please file a bug report.

karl_jones · February 18, 2021, 4:14pm

So the Addressables team believe that this error is caused by building the Addressables for the wrong platform.
When you do the Build make sure that the Editor is set to the target platform in the Build Settings window.

juhanap · February 18, 2021, 6:47pm

Yes well, it is Android. Build Settings is Android, I can build and run from that window. Also, top menu has Google menu where you can run it too. Still result is same, Locales not found and no localization.

karl_jones · February 18, 2021, 6:55pm

Ok. There’s nothing else I can really suggest now. We would need a bug report to understand what is going wrong

SinedDV · February 19, 2021, 5:52am

Good morning Karl!
I did what you said:
1.Unity version 2019.4.20f1
2.Localization package version 0.10.0
3. Version of the Addressables package 1.16.16
4. Disabling code stripping does not affect the result
5. Cleaning and building Addressables does not affect the result
6. Changing Bundle Naming does not affect the result

The fact is that when building Addressables and building the application, there are no errors. The error occurs in an already built application. Feeling like unityInstance just doesn’t see the built Addressables.
If it helps, below is a link to a simple project where you can reproduce the error if you build the application. Everything works in the editor, there is localization.
