Create RuneLingual

Translation Plugin: RuneLingual

This is a translation plugin, which hopefully puts an end to the ever-increasing number of translation plugins.
It translates everything, which surprisingly no other plugins have managed to do.

• Universal Translation: Other translation plugins only translate one or a few elements, such as dialogues, chats, or menu entries, and most of them only support one or two languages. RuneLingual translates everything, and can easily expand supported language via DeepL.
• Non-Latin Characters: Can type and chat in non-Latin characters, which has never been done before.
• Multiple Translation Methods: Translates via manual transcripts or DeepL.

Currently, RuneLingual only supports Japanese, but it should be easy to implement other languages, especially those using Latin characters.

For more detailed information, please refer to the README and the README for developers.

There are some improvements (like adding other languages) that could be done, but the code is large enough already, I thought I should do it after initial launch.

Do we really need a 6th translation plugin?

It translates everything

Currently, RuneLingual only supports Japanese

Right now this just looks like https://xkcd.com/927/

What if I came back with this plugin translating more languages? Adding languages which are supported by deepl and use latin characters would be simple to add. Languages using non latin characters will take more time but is doable. I just wanted the review to be easier and hopefully not take as long

Adding this plugin's functionality to existing one could be complicated for the existing users, but i could try if thats what you are requesting

I'm also hesitant after seeing this

My plugin is also not small

polywoof already supports deepl integration

[YS-jack]

Polywoof only translates dialogues, mine can translate other elements too

[YS-jack]

I could ask if polywoof's developer if he's interested in upgrading his plugin, but ive talked to him before and he didnt seem too interested
edit: I asked and basically he said no

Ok, that's fine. Thanks for checking though! I'll review this one when I get a chance.

Thanks to all RuneLite developers for their time!

OK I think I enabled it just now
