Why we like it

Addon Translator stands out in the superhive library for covering both online and offline translation engines, so you can keep working when you're not connected. One known issue: MarianMT may create duplicate words when translating Traditional Chinese, and a fix is being worked on.

What is Addon Translator - Traductor De Complementos - 애드온 번역기 - 插件翻译器?

Addon Translator runs inside Blender and converts the interface of installed addons and extensions into 40 languages, from Arabic and Chinese to Korean, Russian and Spanish. It scans what you have installed, and you can translate everything at once or pick specific addons. Translations are non-destructive: you can restore the original language of any addon in one click, and while the UI elements change, the functionality stays exactly the same.

For the translation itself, you choose an engine. Deep Translate is a fast online translator powered by Google, MarianMT is a free, open-source offline translator powered by AI, and MyMemory is an online AI model. If you need a language beyond the built-in options, you can export any addon as a text file and run it through another service such as Google Translate, Doc Translator or Claude Sonnet. Exporting to a document also lets you use Google's detect-language feature when you don't know an addon's original language.

Addon Translator supports Blender 3.6 through 4.5 and is released under the GPL license. A demo video is available.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does Addon Translator support?

Addon Translator supports Blender versions 3.6 through 4.5, covering a wide span of releases. It works from within Blender, scanning your installed addons and extensions and translating their interfaces. If you're on a version in that range, you can translate everything at once or pick specific addons, and revert any translation back to the original language in one click. Compatibility can change over time, so check the developer's page for the latest details before installing.

Can Addon Translator translate addons offline?

Addon Translator includes both online and offline translation engines. MarianMT is a free, open-source offline translator powered by AI, so it works without an internet connection. If you prefer online options, Deep Translate is a fast online translator powered by Google, and MyMemory is an online AI model. You choose whichever engine suits the situation, which means you can keep translating even when you're not connected. Note that MarianMT may create duplicate words when translating Traditional Chinese, with a fix being worked on.

Does translating an addon with Addon Translator change how it works?

Addon Translator applies non-destructive translations, meaning it changes only the UI elements of an addon while the functionality stays exactly the same. If you want to go back, you can restore the original language of any translated addon in a single click. This lets you translate your installed addons and extensions without worrying about affecting how they behave, and you can translate everything at once or be selective about which addons you convert.

Can Addon Translator translate to languages beyond the 40 built-in ones?

Addon Translator covers 40 built-in languages, but if you need one that isn't included, you can export any addon as a text file. From there you can run it through another translation service such as Google Translate, Doc Translator or Claude Sonnet. Exporting to a document also lets you use Google's detect-language feature, which helps when you don't know the original language of an addon before you translate it.

Is Addon Translator free?

Addon Translator is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and any current pricing can change, so check the developer's page for the latest details before you download. The addon is released under the GPL license, and the developer notes top-tier support with replies usually within an hour if you run into questions or need help resolving a translation problem.
