AutoLang - Automatic Chat Translation in Minecraft

AutoLang is an advanced Minecraft plugin that eliminates language barriers between players by providing instant two-way chat message translation. This high-performance and customizable solution integrates seamlessly with your existing server and offers administrators a wide range of personalization options.

Key Features

Intelligent Language Detection

AutoLang's system employs a multi-layered approach to language recognition:

• Primary algorithm relies on the Lingua library, which analyzes text characteristics for accurate language identification
• Fallback recognition method activates if the main system is unavailable or server load reduction is needed

Translation Architecture

• Asynchronous Processing: All translation operations run in the background, preventing server slowdown
• Smart Caching: Built-in cache system stores frequently requested translations, reducing repeated requests
• Two-Way Translation: Context preservation ensures translation accuracy between any supported language pairs

Player Comfort

• Easy integration with existing chat plugins and permission systems
• Automatic detection of player client language (available for Paper servers)
• Option to disable translation or view original messages
• Preservation of formatting, colors, and interactive elements in translated messages
