[Localization] GatherText completes successfully, but no manifest is written to the chosen directory

Dear Friends at Epic,

#Progress

After learning of the bug with gathertext not working with directories with spaces in them (such as “Unreal Projects”),

I moved Solus to my C:/

so the main directory is now C:/Solus

#Issue

I am successfully completing the gather text commandlet, but no manifests are written!

I am positive I have uses of NSLOCTEXT in my source files :slight_smile:

#Commandline

“C:\Program Files\Unreal Engine\4.4\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor.exe” “C:\Solus\Solus.uproject” -run=GatherText -config=“C:\Solus\Config\Localization\Engine.ini” -log

#Skipping Content

Please note I am skipping the content step because it takes a very long time and I am trying to test whether the system is working.

When I included the Content I still got the same behavior of no manifest being written.

#Config

#Ideas?

any idea why the manifest is not being written?

I even pre-created C:/Solus/Content/Localization/Engine dir

#Thanks!

Rama

PS: Yes I know, I will change it away from engine as my naming scheme once I get it working

Have you tried putting breakpoints in GenerateGatherManifestCommandlet.cpp and seeing what does and doesn’t execute, following the execution until it leaves the commandlet without writing the file?

Dear Sheevok,

No I have not tried that, I would really appreciate it if you could check out my ini files like you did last time and found the bug with spaces.

#Moved to C:

I moved my entire Solus project to the c:/ itself so my root directory is now c:/Solus

This Localization stuff has been quite hassle for me and I would appreciate second perspective / completely different computer setup being involved so we can test what the core of the issue is.

#Can You Make Test Project C:/MyProject

Can you make a test project, add some localized stuff in the C++, and move it to the C: (I am assuming the space bug did not make it into 4.4)

so it is C:/MyProject

and then we can compare results?

#Zip Files

I have posted my ini files as a zip in the main thread , at the top and attached.

I really would like a second perspective/project setup involved, thanks Sheevok!

Rama

PS: I am not trying to bug you, its just that I cannot possibly know the correct code workflow of Localization system of UE4 since I"ve never gotten it to work, you have much more experience to rely on while analyzing the code flow.

4

I’d be willing to bet that your output from these commandlets is sitting somewhere in “C:/Program Files/Unreal Engine/4.4/”. Am I right?

#Thank You Sheevok

Yes you are correct!

It went to Unreal engine/4.4/Solus !!

Any idea why this is so!

Thanks Sheeovok!

You are awesome!

It’s a bug that needs fixing. We typically test with the various projects we have side-by-side with the engine. We’ll have to fix the bug and do some additional testing for projects located outside of the directory tree housing the engine.

7

Well when the bug has a fix feel free to post it as an answer and then I can mark this as resolved, thanks again Sheevok!

This should probably be fixed to be more intuitive, but DestinationPath is relative to the executable. In the meantime, provide an absolute path for DestinationPath.

Note: This behavior was corrected in changelist 2276830, which seems to be release 4.5.

#Thank You Sheevok

Thank you Sheevok!

That did it!

Once I have all this fully sorted out and tested I will write wiki tutorial on Localization :slight_smile:

For others, here’s what the first part of my localization ini looks like now

A New Issue

Hi Sheevok!

So I got the localization files to work CPP side, but Hourences is reporting that a lot of his BP FText are not making it into the archives

In particular he has noted that all Audio file subtitles are missing.

I have more info and pics in a new thread here, as I consider this thread resolved, just wanted to get your attention here :slight_smile:
