RTLite
by RPMTW
RTLite is a client-side Utility mod from RPMTW that automatically updates Traditional Chinese translations for Minecraft mods.
What it does
The mod is a lightweight translation patch for Traditional Chinese language packs. Once installed on the client, it checks for updated translation files and applies them, so players who read Traditional Chinese receive newer text for the mods they already run. Only the client needs it, and a server running without it is unaffected.
RTLite is part of the RPMTW project and works alongside the wider RPMTW Platform Mod ecosystem. Its files are published for the Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, Quilt and LiteLoader loaders, and the mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the project is open source.
The current builds are marked beta, and the newest file targets 1.21.11. Snapshot builds are not part of the published files.
Key features
Automatic translation updates

Mod translation patching
The patch handles translation text for installed mods and leaves game content and mechanics as they were.
Platform link
RTLite connects to the RPMTW Platform Mod, which supplies the translation source for players in the project.

How it compares
VM Translation Utility is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.12.2 – 26.3 across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Translator++ is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.19 – 26.2 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. RTLite is also client-side only and open source, but it is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and its files cover the 1.12.2 – 1.21.11 range in a different form.
