Saro's Easy Lang Switcher is a lightweight, client-side mod that lets you switch the in-game language instantly with a hotkey. Set up one or more toggles between your favorite languages and swap in a single keypress — no more digging through the options menu every time!

Description

Instant Language Toggle 🌐
- Press a key and the game language flips instantly (e.g. German ⇄ English) — the resource packs reload on the spot.
Multiple Toggle Slots 🎚️
- Set up several independent hotkeys, each switching between its own pair of languages.
Searchable Language Picker 🔍
- Choose from every installed language through a search menu — just start typing to filter, no endless clicking.
Simple Config GUI 🖥️
- Open it with the G key or the "Lang Switcher" button in the Options screen. Pick your languages and bind your keys all in one place.
Client-Side Only 💻
- Install it only on your client. Works on any server — vanilla, modded, singleplayer or multiplayer — without the server needing the mod.
Settings Saved 💾
- Your toggles and hotkeys are stored in a config file and persist across restarts.

Enable a slot — flip a row to On.
Pick two languages — click a language button, then type to search and select the language you want (do the same for the second one).
