UKismetTextLibrary::Conv_TextToString

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/KismetTextLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPureBlueprintAutocast

Description

Converts localizable text to a plain FString. Backs the 'To String (Text)' Blueprint conversion node.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Baking to FString discards localization — the result is a snapshot of the text in whatever culture is active at the moment of the call, and won't update if the culture later changes.
• This is the standard way to get FText content into APIs (file I/O, network payloads, non-localized logging) that only accept FString.
