Simpletranslation Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I set up the mod for the first time?
Open your game menu, find Simpletranslation Mod settings, and enter your translation API link, API key, and your preferred target language. Once saved, the mod will start translating text automatically as you play.
What translation services does this mod work with?
The mod connects to translation APIs—you provide the API link and key in the settings. Check the mod's documentation to see which services are currently supported and how to obtain their API credentials.
Why isn't my chat being translated?
Make sure your API key and link are correctly entered in the mod settings, and verify your internet connection is active. If translation is set to manual mode instead of automatic, you may need to trigger it manually for each message.
How do I translate an entire menu or GUI screen at once?
Press the K key while looking at the menu or screen you want translated. The mod will translate all visible text on that screen in one action.
Does this mod work with Wynncraft?
Yes—the mod has a dedicated Wynncraft Mode that translates NPC dialogue and quest text while preserving the character portraits and dialogue box formatting that make the server unique.
Will translations slow down my game?
The mod caches translations locally, so repeated text translates instantly without hitting your API. Only new text requires a network request, which is typically fast enough not to cause noticeable lag.
Can this mod translate books and item names?
Yes, the mod translates text on items, books, signs, and floating names above entities. Any readable text in your world or inventory can be translated.
Does the mod work with other mods' custom menus?
Yes—it supports popular mod menus like Patchouli guidebooks and FTB Quests. If a custom screen displays text, the mod can usually translate it, though compatibility depends on how the mod's interface is built.
Will translation change the colors or formatting of text?
No—the mod preserves all original colors, clickable links, and icon positions. Only the actual text content is replaced with the translation.
How do I clear my cached translations?
Check your mod settings for a cache management option, or consult the mod's documentation for the location of cached translation files on your computer. Clearing the cache will force fresh translations on next load.
