Translate() Localization Not Working!

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

Heya! I was playing around with localization service and am trying to create translations using scripts.

translate
(Utilizing Localization APIs)

However when I am doing this it is not actually adding them to the portal, the script is on the client side.

local LocalizationService = game:GetService("LocalizationService")

local translator = LocalizationService:GetTranslatorForPlayerAsync(game.Players.LocalPlayer)

function game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.TranslateText.OnInvoke(text)
	local trans = translator:Translate(game, text)
	if trans ~= nil then
		return text
	else
		return trans
	end
end

Make sure to test it on game, because on studio I don’t think it works.

Nope, but, as FilterStringAsync doesnt works in studio, I suppose maybe this doesnt works in studio tho.

I know this is almost a year later, but I’m running into the same issue.

  1. Translate() is called with a string not present in the localization table
  2. The string is not added to the localization table

Has anyone figured out if there’s further steps needed that weren’t covered in Localizing with Scripting | Roblox Creator Documentation ? Is there a long time lag between such a request happening and it being reflected in the Localization Portal?
