Language Change Event has no Effect on Active Menu

circlesmiler

Hello everyone,

my first scene contains a "Start Menu" that contains two buttons (flags).

Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/11IyWSr

The buttons executes following code:

public void ChangeLanguageToGerman()
{
AC.Options.SetLanguage(0);
}

public void ChangeLanguageToEnglish()
{
AC.Options.SetLanguage(1);
}

The OptionData changes, and the language is correct in the following scene. But nothing changes in the current scene.

I want to have the visible menu in the current scene in the new language. Do the AC menu's not react on a OnChangeLanguage event? Do I have to reload the scene? Or did I missed something?

Thanks,
André

Update:
I found out, that, when I close and open the menu, the language will be updated. Is that the work-a-round?

• What are your AC/Unity versions>
• What are the types of elements that aren't updating
• What is your Menu's Appear type field set to?
• Are you rendering the Menu with Unity UI?

See the Manual's "Menu scripting" chapter. You may have to call the following after:

KickStarter.playerMenus.RecalculateAll ();

• I'm using Unity 2018.3.6f1 and AC 1.66.8
• Types are "Buttons"
• Appear type is "Manual"
• Yes, I'm using Unity UI

Using of KickStarter.playerMenus.RecalculateAll didn't work:

public void ChangeLanguageToEnglish()
{
    AC.Options.SetLanguage(1);
    AC.KickStarter.playerMenus.RecalculateAll();
}

Maybe it's because of Source: "Unity UI In Scene"???

Shouldn't be - it should update regardless of the Source option.

You could test this, however, by changing it back to Adventure Creator temporarily.

As a workaround, if turning the menu off and on again does the trick, you could try doing this in code:

public void ChangeLanguageToEnglish()
{
    AC.Options.SetLanguage(1);
    AC.PlayerMenus.GetMenuWithName ("Home").ForceOff ();
    AC.PlayerMenus.GetMenuWithName ("Home").TurnOn (false);
}

Hello Chris,

your work-a-round does the trick. I will test some other things later, when I will have some time.

Thanks so far.

When I understand you correctly, normally the menu's should react to a change of the language without doing special things? If not, it could may be a good idea to add this feature. :-)

If I find more things out, I will post it here.

Best regards,
André

Like I said, it should update. I can't recreate the issue, but you're using custom scripts and there may be some key element missing that you're performing and I'm not.

The problem was, that I deactivated the "Menu System". That was the reason, why the menu's didn't update according to the language change.

But I wonder why: After deactivating the "Menu System", it is still possible to turn menu's on and off. And they still react on button clicks. Why do they not respond to language changes? I think they should.

Thanks for your quick response anyway.
