How can I localize my text?

I understood that all texts would be automatically translated for my island. But I don’t think it is working. How can I localize my texts?

Hey there @cissovilla23! Welcome to the community! I don’t personally work with UEFN, though I believe this thread might have the information you’re looking for:

Localization with Unreal Editor for Fornite?

Localization for text is not supported at this time HOWEVER what you can do is create Localized assets for different languages. What you could do is have your text’s etc as textures and then Right click the main Texture and press Create Localized asset for example spanish [image] Then you will see a folder in your content drawer named L1ON [image] Inside there you will see all the languages that you have setup for localized assets so far in this case es for spanish [image] Inside there yo…

Hope this helps!

To localize your texts in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) or Fortnite Creative, automatic translation doesn’t apply to custom text you’ve added manually (like in devices, UI messages, etc.). You’ll need to localize those texts yourself.

Here’s how you can do it:
Steps to Localize Your Text:

Use the Localization Dashboard (UEFN):

    Go to Window > Localization Dashboard.

    Create a new localization target for your project.

    Add all the text sources you want to translate (like Verse scripts, UI elements, etc.).

Export the Text for Translation:

    In the dashboard, click on Gather Text to extract all translatable text.

    Then, export it to a Portable Object (.po) or CSV file.

Translate the Text:

    Use tools like Poedit or even a simple spreadsheet editor to translate your text into the desired languages.

Import the Translations:

    After translating, import the files back into your project through the Localization Dashboard.

Test Your Island in Each Language:

    You can preview how your island appears in different languages by changing your Fortnite client language settings.

🔁 Note: Auto-localization might work for system messages or device defaults, but any custom text (like from the HUD message device or Verse code) must be translated manually.
