Auto Localization Doesn't Work

Bug Reports Engine Bugs

#1

Large chunks of our interface were never automatically localized in Pet Simulator 99.

  • AutoLocalize is enabled on all of these UI elements and their parents.
  • Automatic Translations are enabled
  • Auto Localize works elsewhere
  • Generally very spotty (some strings get translated, while others don’t)
  • Not found in the localization table
  • Game hovers between 100k-200k daily CCU
  • Game has been out for 3+ months


Client set to Spanish
(ignore the overfilling of text. we’re working on fixing that)


These are all part of the same exact UI. Notice how a lot of the strings are not translated. These strings have been in the game for months

Probably, it’s because when you add a new text then you need to wait until Roblox will notice this added text and translate into f.e. Spanish language or something else.

For me I added a new text and I had to wait like 1-2 weeks or something like that to make Roblox see this and add it.

So you probably need to wait as probably it’s not that efficiency.

If I am not mistaken, strings has to be viewed by unique players in their language for a few days before it can register without problems. Is this only for Spanish or also with other languages?

Thanks for the report! I filed a ticket in our internal database and we’ll follow up when we have an update for you.

All languages. I haven’t delved deep into the localization table, but have noticed this is a recurring issue for all languages i’ve tried. Strings in the video have been in the game since December 1st, 2023

This has also happened with my game, I have strings that have never been added to the localization table despite being added to the game as far back as November. Would really like to see this get fixed.

Hi Preston!

Thanks for filing this report, if you add me as a translator to your game I can help take a look!

We’re not able to find a root cause for this issue on our end, so we’re going to close this thread for now. Feel free to respond with more information later and we can re-open this thread to investigate!

One potential root cause I can think of for your issue here is uploading a CSV that deleted entries; any entries deleted this way will never be repopulated and will need to be manually re-added.

Hi, maybe that’s the case? How can I completely wipe the localization table from scratch so it can get repopulated correctly?
