Neo Language Reload
by ENC_Euphony
Neo Language Reload is a NeoForge port of the Language Reload mod that switches client languages without restarting the resource pack reload cycle.
What it does
Changing the game language normally reloads every resource pack, which can take a long time on a large modpack. Neo Language Reload applies a new language directly, so switching between installed languages takes effect quickly. Players can select several languages at once, and translation overrides are read from the languages placed lower in the list. The language menu includes a search box for finding a language by name, and the mod detects the language already stored in options.txt when the game starts.
The mod is a NeoForge port maintained separately from the original Fabric version, and its author states it keeps features and compatibility with the original mod. The author also says the port follows the original's version updates with some delay. A companion Fabric mod of the same name extends the language tools further. The port is client-side only, so servers and other players do not need it. Files are published for NeoForge across 9 release versions, 1.21.1 – 26.2, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Fast language switching
A new language applies without reloading every resource pack, which shortens the wait after changing the language.
Multiple language selection
Several languages can be enabled together, and translations from a language lower in the list override those above it.
Language menu search
A search box in the language menu filters the list of languages by name.
Reload shortcut
Languages can be reloaded with F3 + J, and Shift + F3 + J cycles through them.
Modern UI settings
The Modern UI configuration screen can disable the Use Text Component Cache option, which is found in the Layout section.
