Chatglot

Chat translation examples Chatglot is a Fabric client-side mod that translates Minecraft chat messages on the fly.
A translate button (✍ by default) is added to each chat message. Click it, or let auto-translate handle it, and the translated result is shown in chat either as a new line or by replacing the original message.

Client-side only. No server installation is required.

Features

  • Translate button appended to every chat message (configurable label)
  • Click-to-translate or automatic translation
  • Result shown as a new line or replaces the original chat message
  • Open the settings screen with F8 or /chatglot config
  • Translate a specific message with /chatglot translate <id> Config GUI

Translation Providers

Chatglot supports multiple translation backends. Switch between them in the settings screen.

Provider Requires
default Nothing. Uses an author-operated free GAS endpoint. Rate-limited, and auto-translate is unavailable.
gas Your own Google Apps Script web app URL
deepl DeepL API key
google Google Cloud Translation API key
openai OpenAI API key
gemini Gemini API key
anthropic Anthropic API key
azure Azure Translator API key + region
codex Browser OAuth (one-time, token stored locally)
translategemma_local Windows only. Downloads llama.cpp + a TranslateGemma GGUF model, then runs a local backend over localhost

Recommended Providers

  • GAS: Good if you want a free setup with your own Google account. Google Apps Script documents up to 5,000 Translate calls per day for consumer accounts, though quotas can change. See Apps Script quotas.
  • Codex: Recommended if you already subscribe to ChatGPT. OpenAI states that Codex is included with ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, and Enterprise plans, with plan-based limits. See Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan.
  • Azure: A good option if you want an official API with a free tier. Azure Translator F0 includes 2 million characters free per month according to Microsoft's pricing page. See Azure Translator pricing.
  • TranslateGemma: A strong option if your PC has enough headroom for local inference. After setup, it runs locally over localhost, can be fast, and does not require a paid API for each request. It does require downloading the llama.cpp runtime and a TranslateGemma GGUF model.

Requirements

Configuration

The config file is located at config/chatglot/chatglot.json.

Key settings:

  • enabled — Enable or disable the mod entirely
  • autoTranslateEnabled — Toggle automatic translation
  • targetLanguage — e.g. JA, EN, EN-US, ZH-HANS (defaults to your Minecraft language)
  • provider — Choose your translation backend
  • overwriteOriginalWithTranslation — Replace original message instead of adding a new line
  • appendTranslateButton — Show or hide the ✍ button
  • translateButtonLabel — Customize the button label
  • showTranslationPrefix — Show or hide the translated-message prefix
  • requestTimeoutSeconds — Network timeout (5-240 seconds)
  • maxConcurrentTranslations — Max parallel translation requests (1-16)
  • useSharedAppDataSettings — Share API keys, model settings, and local backend settings through %LOCALAPPDATA%

TranslateGemma Local Backend

translategemma_local is a Windows-only local translation option. It does not run inference inside the Minecraft JVM. Instead, it uses a separate local backend process over 127.0.0.1 / localhost.

When you use the TranslateGemma setup buttons in the config screen, Chatglot:

  • Downloads a prebuilt llama.cpp Windows runtime
  • Downloads a TranslateGemma GGUF model file
  • Starts llama-server.exe locally and sends translation requests to that local server

The default model is mradermacher/translategemma-4b-it-GGUF using translategemma-4b-it.Q4_K_M.gguf.

By default, Chatglot stores the local backend runtime, model, logs, and state inside:

  • config/chatglot/local-backend/ when shared AppData settings are disabled
  • %LOCALAPPDATA%/ChatglotLocal/ when shared AppData settings are enabled

You can also override the runtime path, model path, download URL, or shared directory from the config screen.

Shared Settings Storage

If useSharedAppDataSettings is enabled, Chatglot stores shared settings in %LOCALAPPDATA% so multiple launch profiles can reuse them.

This may include:

  • API keys for supported translation providers
  • Codex token file location and related model settings
  • TranslateGemma local backend settings such as runtime path, model path, port, and shared directory

Shared settings are stored locally on your PC. They are not uploaded anywhere just because this option is enabled.

Privacy Notice — External Data Transmission

This mod sends chat text to external translation services. The destination depends on the provider you select.
