TranslatorChat-sak
by Sak02
TranslatorChat-sak translates Minecraft chat in real time, converting incoming messages and the player's own text before they are sent.
What it does
Received chat messages are passed through an online translation service and shown in the language selected in the settings. Outgoing text can be converted before it leaves the client, so a player who types in Portuguese can send the message in English automatically. A preview lets the player compare the original text with the translated version.
The default translation provider is the MyMemory Translation API, and LibreTranslate can be selected as an optional alternative. Translation needs an internet connection, and only the message text required for translation is sent to the chosen service. Translation can be disabled in the mod settings for players who do not want messages sent online.
The mod is a client-side Fabric mod and requires Fabric API. It runs on the client alone, so servers do not need to install it. Files are released for Minecraft 1.21.11 only, with version 0.3.2 as the latest build, and the code is under the MIT License without being open source.

How it compares
Free Translator is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.5 under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. ChatTranslator+ is also client-side on Fabric, covers 1.21.11 – 26.2 and is released under All rights reserved. InGameTranslator is client-side on Fabric, open source under the MIT License, and built for 1.21.1 – 1.21.4, so it does not cover 1.21.11.
