Problem with packaging of a localized plugin

Hi, I’ve a problem with packaging a localized plugin.

(Text from Game Content works well) After more investigation I found out that in the packaged build, the Localization folder is missing from my plugin content folder.

Do somebody know if there is something I don’t know about packaging localization from plugins or if there is a way to force the packaging of an engine plugin folder ?

After some research, I’ve found out that in order to force the packaging of a folder in a plugin you can just add this line in the Plugin .Build.cs file :

RuntimeDependencies.Add(Path.Combine(PluginDirectory, "Content/Localization/..."), StagedFileType.UFS);
