Community Directory: Trans-Hub LocalizerTrans-Hub Localizer is an independent third-party Community plugin. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by Obsidian.
Trans-Hub Localizer
Trans-Hub Localizer helps localize Obsidian Community plugin names, descriptions, settings, commands, and selected UI text. It identifies enabled plugins that can be matched to a trusted GitHub source in the official Community Plugin directory, and applies a published translation only when it matches the current plugin version.
What it does
- Supports Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), and Russian as target languages
- Preserves a plugin’s own target-language text first; Trans-Hub fills only UI that still appears in the source language
- Labels translation provenance: plugin-provided, machine translation, reviewed translation, or reviewed correction
- Matches translations by plugin version rather than applying an older translation to a newer release
Safety and boundaries
- It does not modify third-party plugin files or read or modify note content.
- Text is replaced only when the plugin version, text structure, and placeholders can be matched safely. Ambiguous or conflicting cases stay in the source language.
- If a plugin or language has no published translation yet, it remains pending; the plugin does not immediately overwrite the UI with an unverified machine translation.
- English is the current source language, so selecting English creates no English-to-English translation work.
