LocHub is an editor plugin for Unreal Engine 5.6–5.8 for AI-assisted localization. It translates your project’s text with the AI provider you choose, under your own key. Built-in checks and an optional second AI catch the problems. You review everything in one grid inside the editor, and LocHub pulls the result back into Unreal’s own localization archives and `.locres`.

**New in 1.2.0**

- **Any source language.** LocHub translates from the localization target’s native culture. A game written in Chinese sets **Setup Native Culture** to `zh-Hans` and translates into English, Japanese, Korean or anything else.
- Cost estimates count each Chinese, Japanese or Korean character as one token.

**What it checks**

- Format arguments (`{0}`, `{PlayerName}`), plural forms for every target language and rich-text tags are validated twice: once by LocHub, and again by Unreal’s own validator right before anything is written. Broken text cannot be approved, not even by hand.
- Supported providers are Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek and Grok, plus any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, including local models through Ollama or LM Studio.
- Human edits are never overwritten by the AI, and every job has a hard spending cap.
