Audune Localization

Features

• A localization system component that is configured solely with components on a GameObject. Add locale loaders and selectors to the system to control the ways locales are loaded and selectors. Acces the functonality of the system through scripting.
• Create locales with scriptable objects, or import them from TOML files. Custom parsers for importing locales can also be defined.
• Format strings in a locale using the ICU message format. Messages have support for number, date, plural, selectordinal, and select formats. Plural rules for all locales defined by the CLDR are included in the package and automatically applied.
• Reference strings from the table of locales in your code or in the inspector to localize them on demand. Add arguments to a reference or format the result via scripting.
• Define custom locale loaders to define sources where the system loads locales from. A locale loader that loads locales from assets, as well as a loader that loads additional locale sat runtime from the StreamingAssets folder, are included.
• Define custom locale selectors to control which locale is selected when the game starts. Selectors that are include can select a locale based on a command line argument, the system language, and a specific asset that acts as the defualt locale.
