LocalizationService

This property shows the locale ID used for the localization of core and internal features such as CoreGui. Returns a string with the two letter code (for example, en-us) for the locale.

This property shows the locale ID that the local player has set for their operating system.

This will return a string with the two letter code (for example, "en-us") for the locale.

See also Player.LocaleId, the locale ID that a user has set for their Roblox account which is used for localizing in-experience content. This will be a different value when that player's account locale isn't supported for localizing Roblox UI content.

Returns a list of LocalizationTable objects used for localizing core scripts.

Returns a country/region code string according to player's client IP geolocation. The supported country/region codes are as follows:

• PolicyService:GetPolicyInfoForPlayerAsync(), returns policy information about a player which is based on geolocation, age group and platform

Returns an Array, where each element of the returned Array is itself an Array of entries in the same format as described in LocalizationTable:GetEntries(). The order of the elements in the returned Array is the same order that the LocalizationTables will be searched through to attempt automated localization for the provided Instance. The entry elements within a particular LocalizationTable are returned in an unspecified order.

This function returns entries regardless of whether the object is a GuiBase2d with GuiBase2d.AutoLocalize enabled. An object that is a GuiBase2d will not actually be automatically localized unless GuiBase2d.AutoLocalize is enabled.

The ordering of the tables is as follows:

• First, it looks for the earliest GuiBase2d ancestor of the object (including the provided object) that has a GuiBase2d.RootLocalizationTable. Tables then append in the same order as described in GuiBase2d.RootLocalizationTable by going up through the LocalizationTable ancestors of that GuiBase2d.RootLocalizationTable. If no such GuiBase2d.RootLocalizationTable is found, no tables append in this step. If instance is nil, no tables append in this step.
• Next, tables from the LocalizationTable hierarchy under LocalizationService append. For each child LocalizationTable of LocalizationService, it appends tables going up from the lowest descendant LocalizationTable of the tables parented to the service, all the way up to the children of the service. If there are no children of LocalizationService that are LocalizationTables, then no tables append in this step.
• Finally, the cloud LocalizationTable appends to the array. If there is no cloud LocalizationTable, or the cloud LocalizationTable has not yet loaded, then no table appends in this step.

This function does not yield. It will not wait until the cloud LocalizationTable has loaded.

This function takes a locale code as an argument and yields until the cloud LocalizationTable for that locale has been loaded, if available. It then returns a Translator object which can be used to perform translations for that locale if any are available. The entries used for localization are the entries provided by the LocalizationTable hierarchy under LocalizationService as well as the cloud table (if available). This will be the same set of entries returned by Class.LocalizationService:GetTableEntries(nil).

This function can error and thus should be wrapped in a pcall().

See also:

• LocalizationService:GetTranslatorForPlayer() gets the translator corresponding to the locale of the provided player. This function is deprecated and should not be used in new work.
• LocalizationService:GetTranslatorForPlayerAsync() yields until the cloud LocalizationTable for the locale of the provided player has loaded and then gets the translator corresponding to the locale of the provided player.

This function takes a player as an argument and returns a Translator instance which can be used to perform translations for that locale if any are available. The entries used for localization are the entries provided by the LocalizationTable hierarchy under LocalizationService as well as the cloud LocalizationTable, if it is available and already loaded. This will be the same set of entries returned by Class.LocalizationService:GetTableEntries(nil).

This function does not yield. It will not wait until the cloud LocalizationTable has loaded.

• LocalizationService:GetTranslatorForPlayerAsync() has the same functionality as this function, except that it yields until the cloud LocalizationTable has been loaded.
• LocalizationService:GetTranslatorForLocaleAsync(), returns a Translator to be used for translations using the provided locale.

This function takes a player as an argument and yields until the cloud LocalizationTable for that player's locale has been loaded, if available. It then returns a Translator object which can be used to perform translations for that locale if any are available.

This will be the same set of entries returned by Class.LocalizationService:GetTableEntries(nil).
