Language Translator

by EpicPix

Language Translator lets players create and edit Minecraft language files from inside the game, without touching resource pack folders by hand.

FabricQuiltClient-side onlyGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20 – 26.3

What it does

The mod adds an in-game menu for writing languages. Each new language is set up with an identifier in the format en, a name such as English, a region such as United States, and an optional description. The overlay option decides whether the new language is built as an overlay on an existing one or as a standalone language. Exported files land in a resource pack, and changes can be seen by switching to the different language.

Translation keys and values can be searched by typing strings into the search boxes. Selectors filter the entries by category, so a user can focus on Finished, Unfinished or Captured translations, and by source: Minecraft itself, another mod, or a specific resource pack. Auto-reload works with overlays, and advanced users can edit files directly in the languages-eplt folder of the game directory, opening each id.json file in a text editor to add translation entries.

The mod is client-side only, so servers do not need it. It requires Fabric API and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source. Builds are published for Fabric and Quilt across 24 release versions, 1.20 – 26.3, and the latest Fabric file targets 26.3.

Key features

  1. In-game language editor

    Languages are created and edited from an in-game menu, with a screen that exports the result as a resource pack.

  2. Overlay language option

    A new language can be set up as an overlay on an existing one, so only the changed strings need to be written.

  3. Translation search and filters

    Keys and values can be searched by text, and selectors narrow the list by status and by the mod or pack that defines them.

  4. Direct file editing

    Language files in the languages-eplt folder can be opened in a text editor, and auto-reload applies the changes with overlays.
