Please help? I play on hypixel and I like to afk in limbo to get xp but whenever I go to limbo the game crashes and says this :

The game crashed whilst ticking entity
The game crashed whilst ticking entity
Error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Ticking entity
and I noticed it only does this when I have the Translator mod in my mod folder. Help?
And it says I'm using an unsupported modified version of the game. Which I'm using forge 1.8.9, And the translator mod is in 1.8.9. So I don't see what is exactly wrong. Before it didn't do this, close to when i first downloaded it. But it just started doing this.

It's most likely a bug. Unfortunately, I won't be making updates for 1.8.x.

The "unsupported modified version of the game" is just telling you that your client is modded and Mojang is not responsible for it.

I've installed and set it up.

I've also generated my own API key but it still won't work.

Haven't tried it on any other server but the current one is Spanish and I want the messages to be translated to English.

I suppose it's the regex but I'm quite a beginner to such stuff, and would like to kindly ask you to help me out with regex (I've tried both links that are supposed to help you but still):

This is how the chat looks like:

EdIt: Manual translation works and it's actually detecting messages, but not automatically.

My settings:

Any help will be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the late reply. I'll look into it tomorrow.

Could you please fix the links?

The links are working on my side. There is also a mirror link.

I somehow was able to shorten that regex to: \[\w+]|
RegExr proof:

I made it so it translates if someone has 3 prefixes as seen here:


But I find it quite annoying that it shows the other 2 prefixes and my name in the translation. Is there a way to hide it?

Your regex only matches the first square bracket. In the first screenshot, you can see the highlighted blue broke off. The site shows all matches which is not what the mod does.
Here's a correction:
(\[\w+\] )*%name%:

Hello~

Thank you very much for this mod, but I'm having an issue. The standard feature of translating chat live works exactly as expected, but manual translation does nothing and no matter what language I select I cannot actually translate any of my messages into anything but Spanish.

1.12.2.

Help?

The way how manual translate works is that you have to choose what language that message is.
In the next update, I'll update the UI to look a bit more intuitive.

I'm talking about the translate from and translate to setting. I'll go to select what language I want it to translate to, seems okay, but when I use the service it's locked to spanish.

Remember the 2 textboxes the GUI pops out? That's what these two settings do. You type your message there. Depending on your settings, it will translate it and sends it out as a chat message.

That is what I'm saying...I go into settings and change the language I want to change it into to...say...Chinese. I put in "I am a student" but instead of outputting "我是学生" it says "Soy estudiante". Spanish is the default language, so I'm assuming that it's not updating my settings even though I'm making sure that I'm clicking the right ones.

I cannot replicate your situation. Both functions worked perfectly fine on 1.12.2.

It's right in the original post. It answers you everything.
Don't expect things to work immediately.

FAQ: (Read it before posting questions!)

Q: Why don't you use Google translate for the online translation?

A: Since December 2011, Google updated the translation API to version 2. This requires developers pay monthly to use Google's services. However, you don't need to pay when you are using the web version. Yandex's translation service is probably the only free online translation service right now.

Q: What languages does this mod support?

A: This mod supports TONS of languages, including the ones that aren't even supported in Minecraft! period. The full list of languages can be seen in this list. https://tech.yandex.com/translate/doc/dg/concepts/langs-docpage/

Q: Does this mod compatible with (insert mod name here)?

A: Generally, most mods are compatible. If it involves modding the chat system, the mod may not work. However, you could test it out.

Q: The messages are not translated!

A: There are four possible reasons why nothing is translated.

1. You haven't set up a regex for that specific server. I pre-made some for popular servers, but there are still a lot of servers with other chat plugins that this mod would not recognize. This is the most common cause, so if you can't see any chat logs under "Manual translate", this is what happened. Check "The mod doesn't detect any messages on xxx server!" for more info
2. The message contains typos, which greatly affects the language detection
3. The translation service is down
4. The translation fails, meaning nothing was translated. Similar to when you type gibberish into Google translate, and it doesn't do anything

If you are sure that those are not the cause of it, try using the "Manual translate" function.

Q: The mod is translating random stuff

A: That is most likely because of the language detection service being funky. Certain words that aren't supposed to be translated such as "rekt" will be translated as "RA".

Q: I got a message that says "Error caught during setting up translation service..."

A: That is usually either a network problem or the translation keys needed for translation have exceeded the daily/monthly limit(This is more likely). If this happens, you should tell me about it so I can add more keys to the mod. Or you can add your own key into the mod. Go to the settings of the mod and click "User Key" (Or "Use your own translation key" for older versions) for details. That way you can still use the mod.

Q: The mod doesn't detect any messages on xxx server!

A: You can add patterns (Regex) in Options > Chat Regexes > View / Add. Regex(Regular Expressions) is basically "patterns" that allows the mod to detect a line of text. It does NOT detect what language the message is using, rather asks the question "what does a chat message looks like". It allows compatibility for all Minecraft chat plugins. If you don't know what this is, unfortunately, you have to learn it.

Here is a link to a quick tutorial for regexes. http://regexone.com

And here is a link for testing them. http://regexr.com

Alternatively, you can give me a screenshot of your chat in pm. I can help you to make a regex out of it.

(It's not that I will think that you're dumb or lazy or anything...)

If the mod shows "chat separators" instead of "Chat Regex", I suggest you update the mod to 4.0 and above.

Q: The mod deleted all of the default regexes!

A: Just reset the regex to default and save.

Q: Does this mod spam the chat on servers? Will I get banned for this?

A: It does not. The entire translation process(including the translation message) is all client side. The server won't receive anything, and it's no-cheat safe.

Q: What's your inspiration of this mod?

A: It's exactly what the mod description says. I am sick of players constantly talking to me using foreign languages that I don't know and refuses to speak in English.

I've been fiddling with the Regex for hours now and I haven't made much progress. I just can't seem to get the thing to recognize the chat no matter what I put into it, and yes, I did go through the tutorial you had linked to. Could I please get some assistance on this?

I think you got me there. It doesn't detect messages in The Hive. The default regex supposedly supports this server.
Good news is that I got that fixed just now. I'll get this out this weekend.
