What format is the file you’re importing, how is it encoded, and what code are you using to load the file?

Also, are you aware that we already have a localisation solution built into the Engine using the LOCTEXT/NSLOCTEXT macros, and FText properties?

Hello,

i’m making my translation system with some excel sheets and i need to import text with accent ( for french language ) like : créer ( create )

accent char are imported and replaced by ‘?’ and i don’t know how to get my accent back :confused: .
These text are for my hud stuff.

Is there a way to encode or format string for this kind of char ?

Okay so, i’m the bug !

I just need to re-open the csv file and re save it with UTF8 format. you make me realise that i can change the format… i’m sorry, i’m not confortable with this kind of stuff.

Thx anyway :), you can delete this thread and sorry for your time.

Glad you sorted it, I thought it might be something like that :slight_smile:

I’ll leave this here for reference for anyone else.

Also, here’s some information on using our localisation system. You may want to read the second link first, it’s a bit more user friendly than the technical documentation.

If you’re BP only, you’d just need to use a “Text” property (rather than a “String” property) for any user-facing text that needs to be translated. These would then be gathered by our localisation commandlet into a PO file that can be used with several translation editors, or online translation services (we use OneSky at Epic).

I just read these links and Localization seems to be really powerfull !!

I’m not sure to understand the situation, you said that i just need to create Text variable instead of String for my user interface and unreal automatically gather all these Text in a file ? Haha :smiley: really “epic” !

i don’t have time to change my actual project but i will implement it next time :slight_smile:

Yeah, that’s right.

As far as I know, you should be able to change an existing string property to be a text property without losing any data (if you do try this, please make sure you have a backup of your project first!).
