MineTranslator
MineTranslator is a Fabric mod that translates chat messages, NPC dialogue, item names and item tooltips on the client side, so players can follow multilingual servers.
What it does
The mod runs on the client only, so servers do not need to install it, and the translated text appears directly inside Minecraft. It covers player chat, NPC dialogue, item names and item tooltip lore. Some translation providers require an API key, which is kept on the player's own machine and not passed to the server. Support for providers depends on the mod version.
Installation needs the MineTranslator-Library mod alongside MineTranslator, and both files must match the same Minecraft version. Without the library the mod does not launch correctly. The mod is published for Fabric only, across 18 release versions 1.16.5 – 26.2, under the MIT License, and the source code is public.
Key features
Automatic chat translation
Incoming player messages are translated in real time, which helps players follow conversations on multilingual servers.
NPC dialogue translation
Dialogue from non-player characters is translated as it appears, so quest text in another language can be read.
Item name and tooltip translation
Item names and tooltip lore are translated, while the mod tries to keep the original Minecraft colors and formatting.
Multiple translation providers
Several providers are supported, with the choice depending on the mod version, and some require an API key.
