Patchlator
by d1n-0
Patchlator translates Wynncraft dialogue in place, rewriting NPC lines inside the game's own dialogue HUD as they appear.
What it does
When a player joins Wynncraft, the dialogue shown in the custom dialogue HUD is translated automatically once the typewriter effect finishes. The translated text keeps the original layout, and the body text and choice options are both covered. Optionally, the original line can be logged next to the NPC name in a building table, and a hold-to-show key reveals the source text while the translation stays on screen.
Translation is set per target language, and the mod ships hand-curated entries for the languages covered by its bundled lang files. A Google Translate or DeepL key is needed for machine translation. Each version is a separate jar: the 1.21.11 build remaps intermediary names, while the 26.1 and later builds are unobfuscated. Patchlator requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, across four release versions, 1.21.11 – 26.1.2, under the MIT License, with its source open.
