Unity Localize Dropdown Component
·2 min read
We cannot localize the dropdown component using com.unity.localization library, so I will show you how to localize the dropdown component in Unity.
WARNING: I assume you have already added the com.unity.localization package in your project, setup Localization Table and set up the content.
Right-click on the Dropdown Component and select the Localize option at the bottom.
In the Localize Dropdown Component, we add items corresponding to the Dropdown options, and the final result will be as follows:

selected.AddComponent();
}
}
