PolyglotTooltip
See more. Search smarter. Play in your language.
PolyglotTooltip is a client-side mod that shows item names in multiple languages directly in tooltips.
Not just for items, either.
Fluids, chemicals, enchanted books, and even bees can all benefit from multilingual names.
And the best part?
These names are not only displayed in tooltips, they can also be searched directly in supported mod UI.
No more guessing.
No more switching input methods back and forth.
Just search with the language you know best.
