Some Tips for Automatic Text Capture:

[SplashyStudio (Splashy)]

Hey. I had some issues with automatic text capture in the past not working so here is some tips I found:

• If you have Surface Guis around the map, you may want to bring them closer to your spawn area (may or may not be true but worked for me)
• Leave and rejoin the game (a lot), sometimes it only grabs a little bit of text each time.
• Consider using your private server
• Try using the developer free-cam (SHIFT + P) and zoom in all the way if there are surface GUIs too far away

Let me know if these work for you or any other tips!

It isn’t true. Text capture doesn’t work on a “how close you are to spawn” basis but on the user interaction basis.

Leave and rejoin the game ( a lot ), sometimes it only grabs a little bit of text each time.

That can be mitigated if you have people actively playing your game. The more users play it, the more text will be captured.

Overall, it takes on average 2 minutes for the system to capture the text that users see and put it in the table. I recommend reading The Introduction to Localization post on the DevHub if you have any issues.

I find this strange, because on my game that sometimes reaches 10,000 concurrent players, it takes several days for one string of text to be captured, but when I just rejoin over and over, it finally works. Maybe its a bug on my end.
