Finally found a good video explaining localization. Thank you!
Glad to hear you found it useful. :)
Thank you for the video. Saved me a lot of time with understanding the unreal docs
Glad to hear it. :)
A fantastic introduction to localization, thank you!!
Thank you. :)
Thank you for the video! Very good. You have a new subscriber. I look forward to future tutorials on localization and internationalization.
Thank you for your support. :)
Thank you for the clear overview! The docs didn't really make it clear where to start, so this video was a godsend. Now I finally understand how to do localization and where stuff like String Tables fit into the picture. With that, I was able to localize text defined in C++ with relative ease, in addition to Blueprint-based text. This has been a topic I've put off long enough, but in hindsight, it's not so bad!
Glad to hear you found it useful!
super useful tutorial, thank you so much for sharing!
Very happy to hear that!
Great..this was very clean and to the point...!
Thank you!
Thank You very much :D it´s easier than i thought
You are very welcome!
What a great Video! Learned a lot! Thank you so much.

Good video, thanks.
Thank you. :)
great! thanks!
My pleasure. :)
Thanks friend
My pleasure. :)
Nyaaa, thanks :3
You are very welcome. :)
Thanks for this tutorial! Do you have a video or suggest a video on introducing a menu option for players to choose the language? I'm guessing this isn't something players can choose on Steam, but need to change a setting within the game?
I use ue5.2 as soon as I click on Gather Text for the first time the engine creates a folder structure "Localization" included "Game" included folders for each language. I thought it would be fine to save the string table in the first folder but than the string table was excluded from the translation list, so I had to move the string table somewhere else.
Thanks for the tutorial. Now I need to learn how to set up dialogues with translation and a language switch button.

I'm so busy these days that I don't have enough time to studying after watching your video 😥😥
Nevertheless, thank you so much for continuously posting videos 👍
That is ok. You will find the time eventually. :)
@@LeafBranchGames I'm finally done. It was a very vert truly informative video.
Thanks to this, I came up with various develop ideas using this video.
Really Thanks
@@Dae-hyeon Glad to hear it. :)
Thanks for the video. Can you explain in the next video how to select localization on the game start menu when game starts
I can put it on my to do list.
@@LeafBranchGames Thank you

Say hello to the remaining 6,756,000,000 people :D
Thanx for tutorial :)

Hi there, with this method the Engine will automatically know the OS system and change culture indipendently or i must set up other things to localize correctly the shipped game?
Awesome tutorial, thanks, need one more for whole game language changing, per se , you change the choice of language in the start menu and the whole game follow the same language for all like widgets, interaction, text information blueprint etc, like we play on console, please share any link if you know
Thank you
Thank you! I don't know of any such tutorial, I might make one in the future though.
I have a lot of data assets with FText data inside, but when I go to Gather Text it doesn't find anything ...
So frustrating. I followed your tutorial to the letter! I got my list back and populated English then translated Spanish. All was good. Then I compiled everything, went to my menu, and...NADA. It continues to just say None. And when I try to open the dropdown box every time it crashes the editor.
i have one issue that is, it is retrieving enum, comments and all these stuff do you know an approach to make it stick to text ?
this tutorial is a real time saver thanks for these awesome tuts 😎✌
Could you explain more in detail what you are trying to do?
It works well in the editor but when the game starts I can use "Set current language", while the language is supposed to be set the text in the ui does not update. I suppose we have to do this manually somehow?
It's indeed a great video! Congrats!
Just wondering...
Do you have any idea why I cannot Gather Text? It's always zeroed and no progress happens. I added the folders inside Gather from Packages, set loading Policy to Game, already deleted Intermediate and other folders and nothing make it gather the texts. Any suggestion here?
Have not run into that issue unfortunately. Does it happen in every project you try, even small empty ones?
Hi,
Thanks for replying!
I tested now and it worked on new third person template project.
I created the localization a year ago for a big project and copied the project to another folder. From there I developed another project based on the first one.
Everything else is working fine, but the localization never updates, even if I delete the files and start from scratch. I don't know exacly how to reset it.
I tried creating a new ID for some widgets as well... nothing seems to work. I might be missing something (maybe silly).@@LeafBranchGames
@@musilab Weird. I could not find much on the issue, this was the closest one. forums.unrealengine.com/t/localization-gathering-text-produces-no-output-and-fails/485174
how to edit the localization file with the format PAK. so that it can be translated into the language we want
Thank you. Any guidance on how to localize Enums? E.g. populate combobox with enum values, but instead of just printing the friendly name, display a localized text.
You simply don't, since an enum is not of a localizable type.
Very nice tutorial, but I'm having a problem, when I compile the translations (all of them) and restart the engine, the translations doesn't appear so I can select them like in your video in 13:15
Edit: I just see that I can't select an option for loading policy other than never...
Edit 2: Even if I can't select that option, the localization works in standalone mode and via widget.
Have not run into that issue before, so not really sure what could be the cause.
had the same problem and you just need to restart your pc (that fixed the problem for me)
I have the same problem. If anyone has a fix please comment. Rebooting didn't work haha.
@@user-th1fu6li4p I didn't "fixed" it just works, when you package the game or play in standalone.
Ahhh help me! I followed your tutorial and my game is localized for English and Spanish. When I was done with translations I closed that window before I closed the dashboard. Now, when I open the dashboard it does not open the other window that searches for words. So I cannot also compile the two languages to test things out in the UI!!! How do I recover from this???
Thank you very much for this video. However, I have a problem with gathering text. When I press 'Gather text' it shows me an error in the log: 'LogGatherTextCommandlet: Error: Source Control error: Source control is not enabled.' It also shows a red + instead of a green checkbox. I checked 'Automatically checkout' in the 'Editor Settings -> Loadings & Savings' menu, but it didn't help. I don't know what to do(
Are you following the tutorial or doing this on your own project?
@@LeafBranchGames on my own
@@eRatube I don't know what the error is caused by. But by following the tutorial first to see if you can get it to work in a basic and controlled environment might give you some insight to something you may have missed in your own project.
How do I do it in a game that is already finished? I'm in charge of translating a game to Brazilian Portuguese but I have no idea how to access the .po files as this is my first time ever with Unreal Engine
There should be no difference between a finished game and what is shown in the tutorial.
So I gues it's not hard to have an English version first ,then focus on new language at last?
Yes, that is a perfectly reasonable approach as long s you keep in mind what types of of variables to use in the situations that apply.
I didn’t understand, if a player downloads the game, how can he change the localization?
Usually from a setting either in the game or from default OS language.
@@LeafBranchGames I mean, you don't know?
@@user-bg9hj9xl1k Don't know what? It depends on how you as a developer configure your game like to work. So it depends.
How am i gonna make an options for language settingS?
What do you mean?
@@LeafBranchGames on settings menu i want to be able to change the language manually
@@bkkaan52 Call the set language node from your settings.
Can you show the blueprint?
The relevant parts of the blueprints are shown in the video.

It does not work, I did everything like you and it did not found any text
It does sound like you missed some part. But if you feel like you did each step, you can check the UE official documentation on localization and see if there is a step there you missed.
