LangBridge 1.0.0 — First Release

LangBridge allows you to automatically translate Minecraft plugin messages into different languages without manually editing files. Using an in-game menu, you can manage your plugin translations easily and safely.

Plugin Translation

• Automatically translates plugin messages from their .yml files using the /lb command.
• Lists all server plugins and identifies which ones have messages waiting to be translated and which are already translated.
• Protects color codes (&a, &#ff0000, MiniMessage), placeholders (%player%, {0}), and URLs to prevent them from being modified.
• Preserves comments and the original file formatting.
• Distinguishes translatable messages from configuration values such as materials, sounds, permissions, and commands.
• Validates files before saving to reduce the risk of errors.

Translation Tools

• Built-in Editor: Review and correct translations line by line directly in the game.
• Backups: Automatically saves original files before translating them so they can be restored whenever needed.
• Language Packs: Export and import translations to share them with other servers.
• Language Detection: Detects whether a plugin already includes translation files in other languages.

Per-Player Language

With ProtocolLib, which is optional, each player can receive plugin messages in the language configured in their Minecraft client. Players can also select their preferred language using the /lb idioma command.

Translation Engines

LangBridge supports the following translation services:

• Google Translate: Free translation without requiring an API key.
• DeepL: Supported through a free API key.

Compatibility

Compatible with Paper, Purpur, and Spigot, starting from Minecraft 1.16.5.
