Display item names in two languages at once
Seeing both languages in tooltips
By default, when you hover over an item, the mod shows the English name and your current language's translation on separate lines. This helps you learn item names across languages or verify which item you're looking at.
Enable bilingual tooltips
The setting dispBothLanguagesOnTooltip is enabled by default. When active:
- The first line shows the English (US) item name
- The second line shows the translation in your current game language (if one exists)
- Both appear in the item's tooltip when you hover over it
Using with Waila
If you use Waila (a mod that shows block/entity information), the same bilingual display works there too. Enable dispBothLanguagesOnWaila in the config to see both languages in Waila tooltips.
When translations don't exist
If an item has no translation in your current language, only the English name appears. This ensures you always see a readable name instead of a blank line.
