# ResourceTable

> A localization table that holds the translated values for one locale in a collection.

## Definition

* **Type:** Class
* **Namespace:** [Unity.Localization](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/localization.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.LocalizationRuntimeModule
* **Inherits from:** [ScriptableObject](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/scriptableobject.md)
* **Implements:** [ISerializationCallbackReceiver](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/iserializationcallbackreceiver.md)

```csharp
[HelpURL("localization/localization-tables")]
public sealed class ResourceTable : ScriptableObject, ISerializationCallbackReceiver
```

## Remarks

Each table targets a single locale (reported by [ResourceTable.LocaleIdentifier](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/localization/resourcetable/localeidentifier.md)) and shares its keys with every other locale table in the collection through one [SharedTableData](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/localization/sharedtabledata.md). Values are stored as polymorphic [IResourceEntry](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/localization/iresourceentry.md) objects (strings, assets, variants, or custom kinds) held through `[SerializeReference]`, so a single table type covers every entry kind. Look entries up by stable key id or by key text with the [ResourceTable.GetEntry](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/localization/resourcetable/getentry.md) family, add plain strings with [ResourceTable.AddStringEntry](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/localization/resourcetable/addstringentry.md), and add fully-formed entries with [ResourceTable.AddEntry](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/localization/resourcetable/addentry.md). Tables belong to a collection: create one through the Resource Tables window, or with the ScriptableObject.CreateInstance method, assigning [ResourceTable.SharedData](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/localization/resourcetable/shareddata.md) before resolving keys by text.

Additional Resources: [SharedTableData](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/localization/sharedtabledata.md), [IResourceEntry](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/localization/iresourceentry.md), [IStringEntry](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/localization/istringentry.md), [LocaleIdentifier](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/localization/localeidentifier.md)

Create a table, add a string, and read it back.

## Examples

```csharp
using Unity.Localization;
using UnityEngine;

namespace Unity.Localization.Samples
{
    public class ResourceTableOverviewExample
    {
        public void Run()
        {
            var shared = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<SharedTableData>();
            var table = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<ResourceTable>();
            table.SharedData = shared;
            table.LocaleIdentifier = "en";

            table.AddStringEntry("Greeting", "Hello");

            var entry = table.GetEntry<IStringEntry>("Greeting");
            Debug.Log(entry.Value); // Hello
        }
    }
}
```
