Easily translate text for players who speak a different language! Translate grabs a player's language from their client settings (requires ProtocolLib!) or through a command and uses that to determine what language they see chats, server messages, and inventory GUI items in (1.9+. On 1.8, disable in config). When a player chats, it automatically translates it to the languages of the other players.

This plugin uses Microsoft's Translator API and needs API key(s) (requires a Microsoft account) to work. You can get an API key by following this (2,000,000 characters a month for free) and add it to the config, but Translate will automatically download a list of keys that I've provided and will be updating.

Configuration

default language: 'en' # The default language

- '("|'').*\1' # Matches any character except line breaks within either double or single quotes (including the quotes, the quotes have to match)
debug: false

# keys: #Custom keys (only necessary if you want to use your own, it will automatically download a list of keys to use)

Use

Simply set your language in Minecraft's language settings and chat in your language! To bypass the translation, prefix your message with a ">". preview

Commands

/language               Base command, opens language GUI menu when run without arguments
/language reset         Resets to default language (set in config)
/language set <lang>    Sets a player's language

Install

Simply drop this plugin (and ProtocolLib if you don't have it already) into your plugins folder and restart your server!

Optional: Translate works out of the box, but you can configure it to how you like it.
