LangSplit
by fabbe50
LangSplit shows a second language next to the one a player has selected, so text in the game can be read in two languages at once.
What it does
Players choose a secondary language in the mod's settings, and most in-game text is then shown in both languages. Tooltips on items and text in inventory screens are translated as well. The secondary text can be placed on a second row beneath the primary line, and a color can be chosen for the translated text, which may be blended with the color the text already has. Resource packs that contain translations work with it, and the mod ignores any translation it does not find without failing.
LangSplit is built for Fabric and Forge, across the 1.18.2 – 1.20.1 range, with files for 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.19.3, 1.19.4, 1.20 and 1.20.1. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source, and the source code, issue tracker and wiki are public. Architectury API and Cloth Config API are required, and Mod Menu is an optional addition for opening the settings from the mod list. The latest files, 1.20.1-2.4-beta, were published on 2023-10-21 on the beta channel.

What the author says
This mod is for Forge and Fabric, it is fully client side and doesn't do anything if installed on a server. It should translate text in any mod as long as the mod has translation for that language (otherwise it should safely ignore the translation).
