ok i was thinking, we get a lot of german and other languages on the server. So instead of having to translate everything online maybe have a /translate command. Ex.) [/translate german please speak english on this server] i know it would surely help me out.

One problem that will arise with this is that the Google Translate API is now a paid service, and the original version is being cut off in December. There aren't too many other options available; there is Bing's translation API, but the translation isn't quite as good and it's fairly limited in how many API calls you can make each month.

Considering it only costs $20/million characters it's certainly within the realm of a private server mod.

We did have a bot on irc who did that, hafnium made that some decades ago.

But, i dont think a /translate command is realy a 'fcraft freebuild server' command.
More a personal plugin or something.
