Translate your application’s text and assets into the languages your users speak.
Add translations to table collections and reference them from scripts, components, or UI Toolkit bindings. Configure dynamic text using Smart Strings, so that a single entry can handle pluralization, conditions, and live values. Localization Runtime resolves the right value for the user’s language at runtime.
Localization Runtime is a built-in package that ships with the Unity Editor and is enabled by default.
To load content through the Addressables system instead of the sources included with Localization Runtime, install version 2.0 of the com.unity.localization package. The package also enables you to import and export translations in CSV and XLIFF formats from the Resource Tables window. Refer to Import and export table collections.
