UKismetInternationalizationLibrary::SetCurrentLanguageAndLocale

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/KismetInternationalizationLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Sets both the current language and locale together from a single IETF language tag, without touching any asset group culture overrides.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This is the recommended function for a standard language-select menu — unlike SetCurrentCulture, it leaves asset group overrides (e.g. per-language voice-over) intact.
• Returns false if the requested culture has no matching localization data installed, leaving the previous language/locale active.
