VoxelLingo
Simple Chat Translation

VoxelLingo automatically translates incoming Minecraft chat into your chosen language. Original messages stay visible, with clear translations underneath and a small aqua arrow.

Each player chooses their own language. English is selected by default.

FEATURES

Automatic language detection and incoming chat translation.

A searchable language picker.

TRANSLATION AND PRIVACY

VoxelLingo uses Google’s unofficial, no-key web translation endpoint. No API key or billing setup is required.

While translation is enabled, processed chat text is sent to Google over HTTPS, including displayed names and private-message text when translated. Use /vl off to stop new requests.

The service can change, become unavailable, or apply rate limits. Busy chat may cause some translations to be skipped. Original messages remain visible when translation fails.

The translation cache stays in memory and clears when you disconnect or change settings. Minecraft’s normal logging of visible chat still applies.
