XLang - Translating your chat to allow players to cross language barriers.

Setup:

1. Download and install the plugin into your 'plugins' folder. You must be running 1.17 or the latest version of 1.16.5. No other versions are supported at the moment.
2. Run your server and allow it to download the language detection to your 'libraries' folder.
   
3. Once the server has started you must go the the 'config.yml' and input your DeepL API Key, replacing the 'XXX'. If you choose to use the DeepL premium you must set this in the config as it uses a different API endpoint.
4. In-Game, run '/xlang reload' in order to load the API token to start translating.

Commands:
/xlang:
-- reload -> Reloads the config for the plugin.
-- getUsedCharacters -> Returns your current usage for the DeepL api.
-- setTargetLanguage -> Sets the target language for when the translation mode is 'serverWide'
Takes an Argument of:

1. [DEFAULT] -> EN-GB
2. [GUI] -> Opens a GUI for you to choose
   
3. Any of the provided language codes

-- setTranslationMode -> Sets the translation mode of the server to one of:

1. serverWide -> All messages will be translated to one language
2. perPlayerLocale -> Messages will be translated to each player's locale individually or, they can set a custom one with '/setlanguage'.

/setlanguage:
-- reset -> Removes your custom language
-- setLanguage -> Opens the GUI so that you can choose your language
