Strings management for Unity using Android format
- Place your xml string files using Android syntax in Resources/Strings folder.
- Default language file should be named
strings.xml. - Language specific files should be named
strings-iso_language_code.xml.
- Default language file should be named
- Copy Assets folder in this repository to your project
- Add ResouceManager.cs script to a GameObject in your scene
- In your code, call
ResourceManager.GetString(Strings.yourStringKey)to get your localized resource.
String concatenation generates garbage. In order to avoid it, instead of concatenate strings at runtime, you can create them on a file called composites.xml in Resources/Strings folder, using {{key}} to refer to an existing string key. So they can be used as any other string resource.
For example, if you have this strings.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="hello">Hello</string>
<string name="how_are_you">How are you?</string>
</resources>
And this composites.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="hello_how_are_you">{{hello}}. {{how_are_you}}</string>
</resources>
Then, ResourceManager.GetString(Strings.helloHowAreYou) output will be: Hello. How are you?
