Polyglot
by dannytaylor
Polyglot randomizes the text of Minecraft Java Edition into a different language, and it is a Fabric client mod for the 26.2 release.
What it does
Polyglot swaps the language of on-screen text for a randomly chosen one, so menus and labels appear in a foreign tongue while the rest of the game runs as usual. Only the client needs it, and servers run without it. The mod targets Fabric Loader on Java Edition and is published only for 26.2, with a single build, 1.0+26.2, dated 2026-09-01.
Key features
Random language swap
Text in the interface is replaced with a translation drawn from a randomly selected language.
Menu and label translation
Menus, buttons and labels are shown in the chosen language while the rest of the game runs as usual.
Fresh language on each pick
The language is drawn at random, so the text of the interface can change from one session to the next.
