Unreal sync

Unreal sync

Section titled “Unreal sync”

The Unreal sync adapter mirrors Poneglyph data into an Unreal Engine project, working with the standard Unreal localization pipeline.

Setup

Section titled “Setup”
  1. Sync → Add sync link → Unreal.
  2. Pick the Unreal project root on disk.
  3. Pick which Poneglyph tables to mirror.
  4. Confirm. The first sync drops a Poneglyph helper plugin in Plugins/PoneglyphSync/ if it’s not already there.

What syncs

Section titled “What syncs”
  • Lines map to Unreal’s localization keys (via the manifest format Unreal already expects).
  • Translations map to per-language .archive.json entries.
  • Folder structure maps to localization namespaces.

The match is bidirectional but Poneglyph is the authority — on reconnect, Poneglyph pushes its state and Unreal accepts it. Unreal-side edits are sent back as a proposal.

Working with the existing Unreal pipeline

Section titled “Working with the existing Unreal pipeline”

The sync runs alongside the bigger Unreal export pipeline. Sync handles day-to-day text changes; the export pipeline handles full builds, TTS, manifests, and archives.

If you need full control over the Unreal-side files (e.g. for a custom packaging step), turn strict validation off and run the proposal review manually.
