UKismetTextLibrary::Conv_StringToText

Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPureBlueprintAutocast
Description
Converts a string to culture-invariant text. Backs the 'To Text (String)' Blueprint conversion node.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • The resulting text is culture-invariant, meaning it will never be picked up by the localization gathering process — use 'Make Literal Text' instead if the string needs to be translated.
- • For concatenating multiple pieces of already-localized text, prefer FText::Format over converting to string and back, since round-tripping loses the source text's localization data.
