KoreanChat
by Karn
KoreanChat converts English-alphabet text typed in chat into Korean characters on servers that run it.
What it does
On a server with KoreanChat installed, messages written in the English alphabet are converted automatically into Korean characters as they are sent. Words with a character inserted between them are left as typed, so ordinary English text is not rewritten. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge, with files for 1.19.4 – 26.3, and the project is credited to Karn, N-Joy-Shadow and gisellevonbingen. The source code and issue tracker are public, but the code is not open source and falls under All rights reserved.
Key features
Automatic conversion
English-alphabet chat messages are turned into Korean characters without any command from the player.
Inserted characters ignored
A word with a character inserted between its letters is not converted, which keeps mixed text readable.
Server-side operation
Only the server runs the conversion, so clients join the server without a local install.
