Chatglot - Chat Translation
by yoima
Chatglot translates chat messages, signs, books and lecterns on the client, and its translation can run locally or through external services.
What it does
Chatglot appends a Translate button to chat messages and translates a line on click, or automatically when auto-translate is enabled. The result appears on a new line under the original message, which itself is left unchanged. The label of the button can be set in the configuration.
Signs, hanging signs and written books are covered too. Looking at a sign and pressing G translates its text, and a written book, quill or lectern page is translated with a Translate button while the page contents stay as they were. The mod supports several translation backends, switchable from the settings screen. Local translation uses TranslateGemma, a model that runs in a separate backend process over 127.0.0.1 and is set up from buttons in the config screen, and is limited to Windows. Chatglot is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.4 – 26.3, and is open source under the MIT License. It is client-side only, and it requires Fabric API and Mod Deck.
Key features
Chat translation
Chat messages are translated in real time, with the option to translate each line by clicking its button.
Sign translation
Looking at a sign or hanging sign and pressing G translates the text written on it.
Book translation
Written books, quills and lectern pages are translated page by page without changing the stored contents.
Local translation model
A TranslateGemma model can run in a separate local process, with the default model and file paths set from the config screen.
Shared settings
An option stores settings in a shared folder under LOCALAPPDATA, so several launch profiles can reuse them.
