autotranslator

AutoTranslator reads the language files of installed mods and, for each key that has no Simplified Chinese entry, asks an AI model to produce one. Cloud services need an API endpoint and key, while local models such as LM Studio work through a local address. The model name must be the exact identifier the provider uses, for example deepseek-chat or qwen2.5-7b-instruct. Generated entries are packed into a resource pack that takes effect right away, and an in-game screen opens the settings for the endpoint, key, model and local or remote mode.

Before a request goes out, the mod checks a local SQLite terminology database of common Minecraft terms, which keeps wording consistent and reduces API calls. Existing i18n resource packs are read first, so only the entries they still lack are sent. Whitelist and blacklist filters limit translation to chosen mods, and generation can be stopped at any time. The pack is written to a temporary file and moved into place atomically, so the game never reads an incomplete pack.

The mod is open source under the MIT License, is client-side and works on NeoForge for 1.21.1, with the latest file, 11.0.0, published on 2026-09-13. Either side can run it, and neither needs it.
