[Suggestion]Item Language Library

I got the Idea that there should be a library which translates item id's into human readable names in different languages, and that words (also colloquially) of items can be translated back into id's. Then plugin developer's can include these library in their projects, and plugins will became more variable! If someone is interested in such a library, I'll start a project like this.

 

This would probably be a lots of work because you have to create some sort of database or something like that to have all the translations in one place.
It is a good idea though.

 

I want to upload it to a platform where everyone can edit it (Does someone know one? I dont want a Gitbased one, too much expenditure), so when everybody adds a few words in his language we gonna have a big database. I think I will download the lib every week and then publish it here again.

 

Hmm, okay, that's not a bad idea

 

Do you know a website for code publishing and editing?

 

make your own?

i could make a site where you insert your word and the id for it along with a email and it creates a line in a database

dont you think this can be much work? If you want you can do one . But maybe I'll use something like Gobby.

 

but the lib your on your one implementing it

 

Yes? that wi'll be awesome.

I dont think that wi'll be a problem for me, we need just a script that inserts something like

Code:

((List)englishNames.get("1")).put("Stone")

, or so

basicly i will make a site for you

 

In PHP and MySQL? It doesnt have to be really good-looking but functional Simply PM me when you are ready, then I'll code the bit of java-side code.

 

yes php and mysql and ill give it a half decent look if i can be bothered

 

I think it should use the same principe like the mc language system, simple .propertie files that were read by java

has someone a idea for a name?

its almost finished

 

I do not understand you, but i suggest "LanguageLib"

 

ive almost finished coding it

 

Omg? You created a whole (tiny) website in 15 min?

 

yeah just testing it now

 

do you have skype? maybe we can chat there

 

yes add me declanmc96

 

Database of items with id is in essentials. Then you can get from net.minecraft.server.Block name in lang file (getBlockName()). Lang files are included in server jar file.

 

Vault Items already does this

 

This is a plugin, isnt it? Our code will be integretable into plugins!

 

MineCraft supports this natively... IIRC, it can be done a one-liner which supports all locales supported by MC.
