## Built for Unreal Engine 4 and 5 game developers

Unreal Engine uses msgctxt for string namespaces and arguments like {ItemName} or {0}. AI Glot protects these identifiers byte for byte.

### Unreal Localization Dashboard ready

Follows standard Unreal PO syntax so re-importing never triggers missing key warnings or parse failures.

### Dialogue context preservation

Comments and context metadata in the PO file are passed to the AI to ensure accurate voice acting tone.

### FText placeholder integrity

Positional arguments ({0}) and named parameters ({PlayerName}) stay untouched.

### Zero build pipeline disruption

The translated PO compiles directly into binary LocRes files inside Unreal.

## Unreal Engine localization FAQ

### How does AI Glot fit into the Unreal Engine Localization Dashboard workflow?

In the Unreal Localization Dashboard, run "Gather Text", export your culture target as a .po file, translate it in AI Glot, then re-import the .po and click "Compile Text".

### Are msgctxt string namespaces and context metadata preserved?

Yes. AI Glot's gettext engine strictly protects msgctxt, msgid, and line comments (#.), translating only the target msgstr strings.

### How are Unreal Engine plural forms (msgid_plural) handled?

Target language plural formulas (e.g. 3 plural forms in Polish, 2 in French) are respected according to gettext standards, ensuring correct runtime plural resolution.

### Can I translate Unreal Engine 5 String Table CSV files?

Yes. You can upload Unreal String Table CSV files containing Key, SourceString, and MetaData columns. Only the SourceString column is localized.

### Are FText format arguments like {Arg} and rich text tags safe?

Yes. All bracketed arguments ({0}, {ItemName}) and Unreal rich text XML tags are recognized as immutable tokens.

### Why do standard translation tools corrupt Unreal PO files?

Generic tools often strip gettext header metadata, break multiline string wrapping, or encode invalid UTF-8 bytes that cause Unreal Engine text compiler errors.

### Is this compatible with Unreal Engine 4 and Unreal Engine 5?

Yes. Fully compatible with UE 4.27 through UE 5.4+ localization pipelines.

### Can I test translating an Unreal PO file for free?

Yes. Drop your .po or .csv file into the free tool above to translate sample strings immediately without sign-up.
