LiveTranslator

by Creativity0

LiveTranslator translates chat messages in real time inside the game, with the translation model running on the player's own computer.

FabricForgeClient or server, optionalAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 26.1.2

What it does

Chat messages are translated as they arrive, and in-game commands control how the translation behaves. Translation supports several languages. It uses a quantized m2m100 418M model with int8 precision, developed by Facebook, and the model runs directly on the local machine instead of sending text to an online service. Because the translation runs locally, it does not depend on a web connection or an external key for each message.

The mod needs Fabric API on Fabric. It also needs Python 3.8.x installed on the computer, and the configuration file records the Python executable path, the internal server port and where the model is stored. Auto-start is set there as well. Changes to the configuration require restarting Minecraft. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, and the effect differs by the side where it is installed. Files are published for Fabric and Forge across 16 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Real-time chat translation

    Incoming chat messages are translated as they appear, so text in other languages can be read without leaving the game.

  2. Local translation model

    The quantized m2m100 418M model runs on the player's own computer, so messages are not sent to an online translation service.

  3. In-game configuration commands

    Commands inside the game adjust how translation behaves, without editing files during play.

  4. Multiple languages

    The translator covers several languages, selectable through its settings.

Questions

Does LiveTranslator need Fabric API?

Yes. On Fabric, Fabric API is a required dependency and must be installed next to LiveTranslator.

Does the translation use an online service?

No. The quantized m2m100 418M model runs locally on the computer, so text is not sent online.

Which Python version does LiveTranslator need?

Python 3.8.x must be installed on the computer, and its executable path is set in the configuration file.

Do configuration changes take effect immediately?

No. Changes to the configuration require restarting Minecraft before they apply.
