shadertranslator_Chinese

The mod translates Minecraft shader packs into Chinese. After a player installs the JAR into the mods folder and starts the game, shadertranslator_Chinese scans the shaderpacks directory and looks for packs that have an English language file but no Chinese one. For each such pack it produces a zh_CN.lang file, so the shader settings menu shows Chinese labels. Packs that are already translated are left alone.

Translation is done through a configurable API address. The default uses a Google translation service, and the author notes say an alternative endpoint can be set in the config. Batch size, maximum threads and the output directory for translated shaders are all adjustable. Translated packs are written as ZIP files, and the mod is tested with packs such as BSL, SEUS, Sonic Ether's Unbelievable Shaders, Sildur's Vibrant Shaders, Continuum and Chocapic13's Shaders.

The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11 and 26.2, and is released under the MIT License, so the code is open source. It runs on the client alone, so players install it while server owners need nothing. Its files are dated 2026-08-03 for 26.2 on the beta channel. The source code and issue tracker are public.
