WorldGuard-Translator
Forget about the hassle of translating WorldGuard. With this plugin, you can easily translate and customize messages from the WorldGuard plugin without modifying the JAR file, for example, using InJarTranslator.

🌴 Features
- High performance and lightweight
- MiniMessage formatting support
- Modify messages directly in-game
- Translation of English action keys (e.g.,
break that block) to your own language - Compatibility with any WorldGuard version
- Automatic downloading of pre-made translations
⠀
🚀 How does the plugin work?
WorldGuard-Translator modifies WorldGuard's code directly in RAM during server startup or plugin reload.
The plugin intercepts the original deny messages (deny-message) and dynamically replaces English technical strings with your translated equivalents.
