I don't know if it's useful, but since 1.6 you can get a player's game language with Code:java public String getLanguage(Player p){Object ep = getMethod("getHandle", p.getClass()).invoke(p, (Object[]) null);Field f = ep.getClass().getDeclaredField("locale");f.setAccessible(true);String language = (String) f.get(ep);return language;}private Method getMethod(String name, Class<?> clazz) {for (Method m : clazz.getDeclaredMethods()) {if (m.getName().equals(name))return m;}return null;} Imports: java.lang.reflect.*; org.bukkit.entity.*; Before 1.6 you could get it with Code:java ((CraftPlayer) p).getHandle().getLocale(); Hope it helps you
Garris0n I implemented something like this in my System, I created a class that reads a string from the language config and sends it in the language of the player's minecraft^^ And, if you buy Google Translate Characters for their API you could use Google Translate to translate it, because it is soooooooooooooo good *irony off*
You can get notified about the client changing its locale setting if you use ProtocolLib here, and intercept packet 204 (client settings) from the client. The client's locale is the first string in the packet. That way your plugin can dynamically switch its locale as needed without the need to poll for the player's current locale.
Actually, if you're willing to take the time to do this, you can access Google's translate API for free using some neat "tricks" http://rupeshpatel.wordpress.com/2012/06/23/usage-of-google-translator-api-for-free/ (needs to be rewritten in java) It would actually be really cool if someone made a cross-language chat system with this!
bobacadodl except Google translate doesn't always translate perfectly as there are different adaptations of each language (learned that in Spanish class, thought I was saying one thing, teacher intepreted it as something completely different ). Also. That won't work for every Minecraft language, such as pirate speak (which virtually nobody uses :3).
chasechocolate bobacadodl Arrr! I love playing in pirate language! Pirate's 100% right when speakin' xD
I done enum with all languages, but it needs more work.

Used a combination of stirante and sheigutn code in order to make my Localizer for my plugin MyZ. Here's my Localizer enum: Code:java /****/package myz.Utilities; import java.lang.reflect.Field;import org.bukkit.entity.Player; /*** @author Jordan**/public enum Localizer { // English variants have been merged for sake of simplicity.

I just find the locale of the player and snag the string out of the right YAML file saved by the following where localizable is a HashMap for easy retrieval of FileConfigurations. Code:java private void loadLocalizable() { File folder = new File(getDataFolder() + File.separator + "locales"); if (!folder.exists()) { folder.mkdir(); } for (Localizer locale : Localizer.values()) { File localeable = new File(getDataFolder() + File.separator + "locales" + File.separator + locale.getCode() + ".yml"); if (!localeable.exists()) { try { localeable.createNewFile(); } catch (IOException e) { getLogger().warning("Unable to create locale " + locale.getCode()); e.printStackTrace(); } } localizable.put(locale.getCode(), YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(localeable)); } } May be a little dirty but it works great and I never would have thought of it on my own. Glad I happened across this thread!
Perhaps we could take a peak into the minecraft source code and look at how they do it, and steal their codez :3
