While playing on certain servers it was imporssible to chat to users who don't speak my own language, first because I cannot copy n paste text to and from Minetest...
would it be possible to have an add-on mod that lets you choose your default language and when someone types it will convert their text via google translate to your language so you can read (with an OFF switch just in case)...

Great idea but it wouldn't work with the way lua is implemented. The server would stop everything else it was doing to contact google translate and get the results. Once the results were back it would resume normal operation. So you could have a second or two pause in the server for each chat message.

Why Google Translate? What if it could use a native translation engine server-side? Yes, translation programs do exist. It would cause chatting to be laggy, but much less so than Google.TenPlus1 wrote:While playing on certain servers it was imporssible to chat to users who don't speak my own language, first because I cannot copy n paste text to and from Minetest...

Running client-side would be lightning-fast, but it would eat up a good 2GB of hard drive. Ouch.

If the engine is written in C/C++, you can create a small wrapper library, and load it from Lua in a server mod.

I made simple translator mod.
That requires HTTP API.
This uses microsoft's translation api, so need the client id and the client secret.
