UKismetTextLibrary::GetTextSourceString
#include "Kismet/KismetTextLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure
Description
Gets the non-localized source string of the given text — the original, untranslated string it was authored or generated from.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Displayed in Blueprint as 'Get Source String from Text'.
- • For generated text (e.g. the result of Format), the source-code comment notes this will deep-build the source string as if generation had run for the native language — this can be more expensive than a simple property read.
- • This is not the same as the currently-displayed string in the active culture; use Conv_TextToString for the localized display string instead.
