TSMP-TRANSLATION

DESCRIPTION:

Introducing TSMP-TRANSLATION, a Minecraft plugin designed to translate in-game chat messages. It brings a new dimension to the multiplayer experience, breaking down language barriers and connecting players across the globe.

Features:

• Instant Translation: The translated text appears right above the original message, highlighted in green, providing a seamless experience. The translation is individual and each player can see the message translated for their own language
• Supported Languages: Currently supports English (EN), Portuguese (PT), Spanish (ES), and French (FR) with more to come in future updates.
• Integration with Google Translation API: Utilizes Google's powerful translation services for accurate, real-time translations.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Google's Translation API offers a free tier, but charges may apply if the volume of translated text exceeds the maximum character limit. Please monitor usage carefully to avoid unexpected charges.

Configuration:
Server Setup:

1. Download the .jar file.
2. On your host, create a file named "translation_config.json" and paste the following inside:
   json
   {
   "Key": "KEY_GENERATED_BY_GOOGLE_API_HERE"
   }
   
   Be sure to replace "KEY_GENERATED_BY_GOOGLE_API_HERE" with your actual API key.

In-Game Configuration:

• Each player must execute the command "/setlanguage <language_to_translate>".
• Once executed, the player's messages will automatically be translated for all other players.
• If a player does not execute the command, they will neither see translations of others' messages nor have their own messages translated.

Result:
Once every step has been completed, players will see the chat like this:
