Hi,

I'm going to prepare the string.tab for the demo game, and I made several test, but only works in some cases.

For example:

If I put in the caption of a entity /ID_TEXT/Default text, works OK. If I put in the script a line like actor.Talk("/ID_TEXT/Default text"); works OK.

But if I put in the script a call like MyObject.DisplayText("/ID_TEXT/Default text"); this string not is interpretated, and WME pass to the DisplayText method the string "/ID_TEXT/Default text" and the method print in the screen /ID_TEXT/Default text not Default text only.

Is it correct? The Localization system works only with captions & methods like actor.Talk() or works will all strings of the game?

Yes, sometimes it didn't work directly.
But you can use Game.ExpandString(); to obtain the right text from string tab.

It definitely doesn't work with all strings in the game, that wouldn't be desirable. WME only localizes strings if it knows for sure they should be localized (i.e. in built-in methods such as Talk, and in definition files, like .window files).
If you're dealing with strings yourself, and you want those localized, use Game.ExpandString(), like Azrael said.

Works perfectly. Thanks
