LTranslate
AI-powered chat translation for Paper 1.20+.
Players chat in their own language; everyone else sees their own chosen language. Public chat is translated through an OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions endpoint (structured output), delivered per player, and logged per server session.
Paper 1.20 – 1.21.x · Java 17+ · Spigot not supported · GPL-3.0
Install
- Drop the jar into
plugins/. - Start the server, set
translation.api-key(orOPENAI_API_KEY) inplugins/LTranslate/config.yml. /lt reload.
Without an API key the plugin does not touch chat at all — it only writes
origin.txt.
