I want to change the language of the game during game play and I have allocated a button to Set Language and Local, see image attached, but by pressing the button it only changes the engine language not the translated widget texts using localization dashboard. ---

You can only change game language when playing in Standalone mode. In case you haven’t setup proper localization, try this guide from wiki. > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline.

Thank you very much for your comment and the link. I have setup the localization and I can see the different languages in the language preview of each widget. However, the problem is that I cannot change the language inside the packaged game on my smartphone (android) by pressing on a button assigned for the Set Language and Locale. Would you please let me know how I can implement the change inside the packaged game? ---

I haven’t check on android yet, but my packaged game is on PC and IOS and can change language anytime. There a few thing you can review: 1. In Localization Dashboard, Compile Text after you add all language ![228342-capture.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/6/9/e/69ee3fe2bf5f21277725415b83960ef933b982c1.png) 1. Go Project Settings-\>Packaging, add any language you want to package, make sure change Internationalization Support to All ![228330-capture.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/7/b/7/7b7a06b375226e24b72393a41380e4efdf4d86d9.png) ---
