Chinese Translator (Fabric client mod)

A client-side Minecraft Fabric mod that automatically translates foreign-language text into Chinese, using the free Microsoft Edge translation endpoint — no API key required. It runs asynchronously on background threads so it won't block the game.

What it does

1. Auto chat translation

• Intercepts both incoming player messages and server/system messages.
• Skips text that already contains Chinese; anything else is translated and shown directly beneath the original message, prefixed with a gray [翻译] (Translation) tag.

2. Written-book translation

• Adds a translate button to the book-reading screen.
• Translates every page of a book at once, caches the result, and lets you toggle between the original and the translated view (shows "翻译中…" / Translating while it works).

3. Sign translation

• When you look at a sign, it reads the sign's text, translates it, and displays the original + translation on the HUD. Results are cached per block position, and it can be toggled in the config.

4. Manual translate command

• /t <text> — translates whatever you type into the configured target language and sends it.

Configuration (chinese-translator.json)

• enabled – master on/off switch
• targetLanguage – destination language, default zh-CHS (Simplified Chinese)
• translatePrefix – label shown before translations, default §7[翻译]
• maxTextLength, timeoutSeconds – length cap and request timeout
• signTranslationEnabled – toggle sign translation separately

Requirements: Fabric Loader ≥ 0.19.3, Minecraft 26.2.x, Java ≥ 25, and Fabric API; client-side only.
