Lice's Language Bridge
by Licescutie
Lice's Language Bridge shows a second language beside the item names in inventory, JEI and REI tooltips, so bilingual players and language learners can read both at once.
What it does
Once installed, the client shows each item name in a primary and a secondary language at the same time. The pair appears in inventory tooltips and in the JEI and REI item interfaces, which are optional. Languages available include Portuguese (PT-BR and PT-PT), English (EN-US and EN-GB), Spanish (ES-ES, ES-MX and ES-AR) and French (FR-FR and FR-CA). Players choose which pair to use in the config file.
The mod runs on NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1 only, as a client-side only addition that changes nothing on a server. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Players who run JEI or REI get the bilingual names in those item lists, and the mod works without either of them. Translation results are cached inside the mod to reduce the cost of looking them up each time a tooltip is drawn.
Key features
Dual language tooltips
Item tooltips display the name in two languages together, so the reader can compare the two without switching the game language.
JEI and REI support
The same dual names appear in Just Enough Items and Roughly Enough Items, where players browse recipes and item lists.
Configurable display
Colors, text formatting, the order of the two languages and the separator between them can all be changed in the config file.
Translation caching
A built-in cache keeps repeated translation lookups from slowing down tooltip rendering.
