Hello.

I found a lot of questions on this problem, but solution, that suggested in those answers, doesn’t work for me.

I tried

 FInternationalization::Get().SetCurrentCulture(TEXT("pl"));

but it doesn’t solved my problem. Console command

CULTURE=en

also doesn’t helped me.

How to change culture in UE 4.11 in game runtime, without restart?

Thank you!

Hi! Re-initialization of the widgets not solved the problem…

It still showing texts in “en” culture.
But if I restart game with -culture=ru-RU - it showing texts in needed culture, ie my translation works correctly.

Level re-opening also not solved the problem:

Hello, I don’t know if it could helps you but by my side (UE 4.11.2) :
To preview a culture without restarting UE I use the “Preview in Editor” Button in the Translation Editor :

  1. Enter -culture=it in the console command on the OutputLog tab (here it : italian for the exemple)
  2. open The Localization dashBoard
  3. Edit Translation you want to preview
  4. Then Clic on the “Preview in Editor” Button

@, did you solve it?

For people with this kind of problem and similar, somethings worth checking out (I stumbled upon two of them):

  • Remember to compile your translations (I do it on the Localization Dashboard)
  • In Project Settings > Packaging > Packaging > Advanced Settings check if your translations are checked in the Localizations to Package list (easier to see pressing Show localized)
  • In the same place, set Internationalization Support to something that covers all your languages. In my case (pt-BR), I thought EFIGS would do the trick, as Portuguese has similar glyphs to Spanish. But no. It’s a very specific setting. So, I had to use All.
  • The culture/language won’t change in editor, so test in Standalone Preview. For VR you need to build the project, unfortunately.
