mc翻译器
by maxluof
mc翻译器 translates foreign-language chat, signs and books into Simplified Chinese on the client, using the free Microsoft Edge translation endpoint.
What it does
Incoming player messages and server or system messages are intercepted and translated into the destination language, which defaults to Simplified Chinese (zh-CHS). A translation appears directly beneath the original line, prefixed with a gray Translation label. Text that already contains Chinese characters is skipped, so Chinese chat is left alone.
Written books gain a translate button on the reading screen. The first translation of a book is cached, and a toggle switches between the original and translated view. Looking at a sign shows its text with the translation in a HUD overlay. Results are cached per block position and the cache can be toggled in the config. A master on/off switch disables the whole mod.
Translation runs on background threads, so the game does not wait for the network request, and the service needs an API key. The mod is released under the MIT License but is not open source. It is published for Fabric only across 11 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.2, and it needs Fabric API on the same loader.

Skip Chinese text
Messages that already contain Chinese characters are not sent for translation, and a master switch turns the mod off.
