GoogleChat

by JFronny

GoogleChat translates chat messages in both directions by sending them through Google, with the target language set in its configuration.

FabricClient or server, optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.18.1 – 26.3

What it does

GoogleChat sends incoming and outgoing chat messages to Google for translation into a configured language, and translation can be turned off entirely. Server-specific settings are supported, and a server that wants signed message translations must enable previews-chat in server.properties. The mod requires LibJF, which handles the translation requests, and works with Mod Menu for its settings screen. It is open source under the MIT License and published for Fabric only, across 31 release versions, 1.18.1 – 26.3.

Key features

  1. Automatic chat translation

    Messages sent and received are translated automatically into the configured language.

  2. Two-way translation

    Outgoing and incoming messages can each be translated, and either direction can be disabled in the config.

  3. Server-specific settings

    Server owners can set their own translation options, with signed message translations available once previews-chat is enabled.

What the author says

GoogleChat automatically translates all messages sent or received by the client to/from a configured language using Google Translate through LibJF. Both directions of translation can be configured and GoogleChat can be disabled completely from the config, though server-specific configs are not implemented.
