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
