GetLocalizedString does not return fallback locale string when key value is empty
Reproduction steps:
1. Open the user's attached project
2. Open the 'Scenes/Sample Scene' Scene
3. Enter Play mode
4. Select 'English (en-GB)' in the dropdown menu on the left
5. Click the 'Next Page' button on the right side
Expected result: fallback string is retrieved and visible
Actual result: no text is visible, GetLocalizedString returns null
Reproducible with: 1.0.0-pre.9, 1.0.0-pre.10 (2019.4.29f1, 2020.3.16f1, 2021.1.17f1, 2021.2.0b7, 2022.1.0a5)
Could not test with: 1.0.0-pre.8 and below (AsyncOperationHandle errors)
Note: fallback string returns null for other locales as well

Resolution Note:
Hi,
After further investigation this behavior is actually by design.
I can see in your script *UnityLocalizationManager* you are using a list of LocalizedStringTable. A StringTable does not support fallbacks, it will always return the entry, even if it is empty. This is intentional as you may want to access metadata etc and StringTables are not aware of fallbacks. If you want to get the entry of a table with fallback support you should use one of the following:
- LocalizedString.
- LocalizationSettings.StringDatabase.GetTableEntry
- LocalizationSettings.StringDatabase.GetLocalizedString
The fallback behavior is handled during the GetTableEntry stage. I updated your code and got it working with the following changes:
{code:c#}
void LoadStrings(StringTable stringTable)
{
switch (currentTopic)
{
case 0:
baseText.text = LocalizationSettings.StringDatabase.GetLocalizedString(stringTable.TableCollectionName, huckDialogueStarter + currentPage, arguments:testValues);
return;
case 1:
baseText.text = LocalizationSettings.StringDatabase.GetLocalizedString(stringTable.TableCollectionName, cutsceneStarter + currentPage, arguments:testValues);
return;
case 2:
baseText.text = LocalizationSettings.StringDatabase.GetLocalizedString(stringTable.TableCollectionName, itemData[currentPage], arguments:testValues);
return;
}
}
{code}
