How does the mod translate messages?

Message Interception - The ChatHud.addMessage() mixin intercepts all incoming chat messages.

Text Extraction - Parses the message, separating the player name from the text:

hello → Player: "Player", text: "hello"

HTTP Request to Google Translate - Sends an asynchronous GET request:

https://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/single?client=gtx&sl=auto&tl=ru&dt=t&q=hello

sl=auto - autodetect source language

tl=ru - disable language (your selected one)

q=hello - text to translate

JSON Response Parsing - Extracts the translated text from Google's JSON response
Add to Chat - Adds a new message with the translation:

Original: , hello!

Translation: привет

Frequently Asked Questions

Chat translator server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Chat translator compatible with fabric?

Chat translator officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Chat translator – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Chat translator consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
