Language Utils

Introduction

It was always a problem to get the localized name of an item(afaik), so Language Utils came out to solve this issue. This API only provides names for vanilla language entries.

In the following updates, I also add the support for entities, enchantments, and enchantment levels.

The major version is for Spigot/Bukkit 1.10.2. If you are using Spigot/Bukkit 1.7.10, 1.8.9, or 1.9.4, use this, this, or this instead.

Resources

• Github(Licensed under MIT): https://github.com/MascusJeoraly/LanguageUtils
• Example Plugin: https://github.com/MascusJeoraly/LangUtilsExample
• Maven Repo(I don't have a server): https://raw.github.com/MascusJeoraly/LanguageUtils/mvn-repo/
• Latest build: https://drone.io/github.com/MeowInnovation/LanguageUtils/files

Installation

If you are a server owner, just drop the plugin into your plugins/ folder. This plugin itself does not have any functionalities and it may take 100-250 ms to load all the language files. If you want to customize the language entries, please read the README.txt inside plugins/LangUtils/lang/.

If you are a developer, add the API to your build path. Additionally, if you are using Gradle or Maven:

Gradle: add the following to your build.gradle.

repositories {
maven {
url 'https://raw.github.com/MascusJeoraly/LanguageUtils/mvn-repo/'
}
}
dependencies {
compile group: 'com.meowj', name: 'LangUtils', version: '1.6.0' // Please check the latest version
}

Maven: add the following to your pom.xml

“`

<repository>
<id>lang-utils-repo</id>
<url>https://raw.github.com/MascusJeoraly/LanguageUtils/mvn-repo/&lt;/url&gt;

Usage

Items

1. Get the display name of an item(including customized name):
   LanguageHelper.getItemDisplayName(itemStack, locale);
LanguageHelper.getItemDisplayName(itemStack, player);

For example, if you want to get the English name of an item:
LanguageHelper.getItemDisplayName(itemStack, "en_US");

1. Get the localized name of an item:
   LanguageHelper.getItemName(itemStack, locale);
LanguageHelper.getItemName(itemStack, player);

2. Get the unlocalized name of an item
   LanguageHelper.getItemUnlocalizedName(itemStack);

Entities

1. Get the unlocalized name of an entity
   LanguageHelper.getEntityUnlocalizedName(entity);
LanguageHelper.getEntityUnlocalizedName(entityType);

2. Get the localized name of an entity
   LanguageHelper.getEntityName(entity, locale);
LanguageHelper.getEntityName(entity, player);
LanguageHelper.getEntityName(entityType, locale);
LanguageHelper.getEntityName(entityType, player);

3. Get the display name of an entity(including customized name)
   LanguageHelper.getEntityDisplayName(entity, locale);
LanguageHelper.getEntityDisplayName(entity, player);

Ofc, if you only want the English name of an entity, you can just use
entity.getName();

Enchantments

1. Get the unlocalized name of an enchantment
   LanguageHelper.getEnchantmentUnlocalizedName(enchantment);

2. Get the name of an enchantment
   LanguageHelper.getEnchantmentName(enchantment, player);
LanguageHelper.getEnchantmentName(enchantment, locale);

3. Get the full name of an enchantment(including its level)
   LanguageHelper.getEnchantmentDisplayName(enchantment, level, player);
LanguageHelper.getEnchantmentDisplayName(enchantment, level, locale);
LanguageHelper.getEnchantmentDisplayName(entry, level, player);
LanguageHelper.getEnchantmentDisplayName(entry, level, locale);

where entry is Map.Entry<Enchantment, Integer>.

Enchantment levels

1. Get the unlocalized name of an enchantment level
   LanguageHelper.getEnchantmentLevelUnlocalizedName(level);

2. Get the name of an enchantment level
   LanguageHelper.getEnchantmentLevelName(level, player);
LanguageHelper.getEnchantmentLevelName(level, locale);

Misc

1. Translate an unlocalized name
   LanguageHelper.translateToLocal(unlocalizedName, locale);

2. Get the language a player is using
   LocaleHelper.getPlayerLanguage(player);

3. Add/Replace a language entry

Configuration

FallbackLanguage=en_US

Known Issues

• Currently I'm using HashMap and Enum to organize languages(& items). And it may take 50-1000 μs to retrieve one item name.(may be longer) If you have more efficient ways to load or to lookup names, please let me know.
• Support for items in mods(seems unneccessary in 1.8+)
