Internationalization Lib for Minetest (also known as Internationalization Library or intllib) is a legacy Minetest mod created by Diego Martínez (kaeza) and released under Unlicense which was used to translate mods. A major limitation of this mod is that it's server-side, so if used on a server, the same translation is seen by all players. E.g. if a server is set on using the Spanish language, all players will see the Spanish translation.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Since Minetest version 5.0.0, Minetest provides its own API to translate your games (see lua_api.txt), which allows you to translate mods and all players will see their own appropriate translation. It's highly recommded to use this API instead.

To migrate from old intllib translation files, update-translations can be used.

This mod was an attempt at providing internationalization support for mods, before Minetest supported it natively. Forum discussion is here: forum topic. Bugs could be reported using the bug tracker on GitHub.
