[HELP!] How do I decode localized strings?

[Xyphos]

I've been successful thus far in reading ConfigNodes, but now I've encountered a new problem.

PART
{
	...
	title = #autoLOC_500592 //#autoLOC_500592 = Mk3 Liquid Fuel Fuselage Short
	...
}

 

How do I decode localized strings?

[HebaruSan]

In many UI fields, you can include them directly in-line and the core game code will take care of it for you:

• https://github.com/HebaruSan/SmartTank/blob/master/src/SmartTankPart.cs#L159
• https://github.com/HebaruSan/SmartTank/blob/master/src/SettingsView.cs#L46

Otherwise you can call Localizer.Format (via "using KSP.Localization;") to get the formatted string

• https://github.com/HebaruSan/Astrogator/blob/master/src/TransferView.cs#L58-L59

You're asking questions that I've had to investigate myself fairly recently, so it's my turn to pay it forward. Once you get to more difficult stuff, I'll pipe down and someone else will step in (probably DMagic ).

Fair enough, and much appreciated.

If you don't need a string replacement you can also use Localizer.GetStringByTag()
