Simple Translation
by morimori0317
Simple Translation displays translated item names in the tooltip when a player presses a chosen key, for a Fabric or Forge client.
What it does
When the configured key is held over an item, its tooltip shows the name in the translation language set in the config. The translation source and destination languages can be changed, and the default blank setting detects the language automatically. Language codes follow Google's scheme. Items are shown with Japanese and English names as the author text describes.
The client alone runs the mod, so servers and other players need nothing installed. It requires Architectury API and Cloth Config API on both loaders, and Fabric API is needed only on Fabric. Files exist for 1.16.5 only, released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the code is open source.
