Translates the English text of your mods into the language you picked in Minecraft while you play: item names, tooltips, menus, FTB Quests, Patchouli books and BetterQuesting. It works with no setup, and better with a free Gemini key.

Which file?

Take the jar that matches your Minecraft version and put it in mods/.

What is in it

  • Keyless Google Translate out of the box. A Gemini, Groq, Mistral, OpenRouter, Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible key is optional.
  • Persistent offline cache: each text is translated once.
  • 1.12.2: background pre-translation of all mod language files, so most text is translated the first time you see it.
  • Shared translation packs: ready-made translations are downloaded (download only, nothing is uploaded). There is a Turkish pack today.
  • Glossary and personal corrections that override everything.
  • Colour codes and placeholders are kept intact; a translation that breaks them is rejected.

Known limits

  • The target is the game language, and any language code works, but Turkish is the only language that has been tuned and tested. Other languages use the same pipeline and are not verified yet.
  • It is machine translation. Some terms come out wrong, so use the glossary and corrections to fix them.
  • Keyless Google Translate is rate limited, so a large modpack takes a while the first time. Pre-translation and the shared pack shorten that.
  • Fabric code is in the repository but is not built or tested yet.
