Translator++
by LShiftLess
With Translator++ installed, text in supported screens can be translated automatically while the game is running, without leaving the menu.
What it does
The mod translates in-game text on the client using a translation service that the player configures. Translation happens as text appears, so chat, item names and menus can show a translated version. Internet access is usually required, because the translation is fetched from an online service.
Installation needs Cloth Config API on Fabric and Forge. Translator++ is client-side only, so servers do not need it and players can join without installing it. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.19 – 26.2, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Automatic text translation
Text shown on screen is translated automatically, which saves switching between a browser and the game.
Configurable translation settings
Options for the translation service and target language are set through a configuration screen.
Integration with item viewers
Translator++ also works alongside JEI, REI and EMI, so item and recipe pages can show translated text.
Compatibility with Jade and Mod Menu
Jade tooltips and Mod Menu entries can be read in the translated language, making the mod useful for browsing other mods' information.

Use cases
Playing in a second language
A player who reads a different language than the game uses can read menus and chat in their own language while playing.
Browsing modded content
Players exploring large modpacks can translate item names and tooltips from other mods that are shown in the game.
Who it’s for: Players who want to read the game in a language other than the one it is displayed in. Server owners do not need to install it, because it runs only on the client.
How it compares
Roughly Enough Config Screens (RECS) is client-side only, but it is not open source and is published under All rights reserved for 1.19.4 – 1.21, so it covers a shorter range of versions than Translator++. Advanced Worldgen Info (AWI) is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so both sides must install it, with files for 1.20.1 – 26.3.
