Hi all,
I am currently working on localization for our application and have run into an issue with attempting to work on the Japanese. Prior to adding the Japanese culture, I was able to add and translate into French. However, when I follow the same process to start on the Japanese (ja-JP) translations, it gives me the error:
“Failed to load most current translation archive (…/…/…/Education/Content/Localization/Game/ja-JP/Game.archive), unable to load translations.”
The general advice is that it’s better to export the strings to a .po file, edit them using something like PoEdit, then import them again.
However if you want to edit them directly in UE and you find you have this error, I’ve found you can fix it just by copying the Game.archive file from your base language directory (e.g. en) into your newly created language folder. It will be misleading because it’ll think all the translations are Complete, but it does at least solve the problem and you can edit the translations in UE after that.
