Game Localization doesn't work in-game

Reproduction Steps
I’ve been working on localizing one of the games I work with and lately I’ve been having issues with localization not kicking in in-game.

Reproduction Steps:

  • Pick a game (in my case, this)
  • Make sure you have a language set to one that the game supports (in my case, Polish)
  • Join the game

Expected Behavior
What should happen is that the localization engine kicks in and starts localizing strings.

Actual Behavior
Localization doesn’t kick in and you’re stuck with the original language.

Workaround
Leave the game repeatedly until it starts working. In my case it only worked once out of 10 attempts.

Issue Area: Engine
Issue Type: Other
Impact: High
Frequency: Often

@ItsKoiske I just joined in your example game in Polish and it was translated. Some things I noticed and some stuff that could be causing your problems:

  • Your game is not fully translated in Polish (It does appear to be fully translated in other languages)
  • If you are actively translating your game new translations will take a short time before becoming available in game
  • Long running game servers will hold onto old translation assets for their lifetime. New game servers will pick up your new changes

Please let me know if any of these resolve your issues
