Unreal - Localisation

• Firstly, Read the docs

  • https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Gameplay/Localization/Overview/index.html

• Window -> Localization Dashboard to bring up UI.

  • Most resources talk about this part as if the system is new, however the dashboard is just a new UI to link with the system that was already there in code.

• Set up your gather rules, how you gather these rules has a direct effect on how long the Gather Text takes take.

  • By default nothing is included.
  • You an add include or exclude folders. Only include folders that contain assets / code you care about! This will prevent the gather text from finding hunderers of FText variables for things like material names, items not of interest in maps and so on.
  • You can use Wildcards with foldername/*

• Ensure to setup the cultures you need.
