LinguaChat

by Lintech-1

LinguaChat translates chat messages automatically in both directions, so players who speak different languages can follow the same conversation.

What it does

Players who share a server with others writing in other languages can read incoming messages in their own language, while their outgoing messages are translated into the language used on the other side. Translation runs in the background, so the chat keeps moving while messages are converted. The translation direction for each side is set in a configuration file, and in-game settings are opened with the K key.

LinguaChat supports several translation providers, including Google Translate, DeepL and Kagi, so the provider can be chosen to suit the messages. Installation needs Fabric Loader for the chosen Minecraft version and a matching Fabric API build. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players join without installing anything on the server side. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and issue tracker publicly available.

The first release was published on 2025-03-08, and the latest Fabric file is 2.0.0 for 1.21.11, dated 2026-04-03. Files cover 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.5 and 1.21.11, so the range spans 1.16.5 – 1.21.11.
