(Arkyoh) <materialTag.translated_name.text_width> returning 0

[celest crown]

Is there a way to get the text_width of a translated_name? I would like to center the name in the chat but I need the text_width for this and combining these two tags returns me 0 🤔

translated_name is a translatable, e.g. it's just a translation key that gets translated by the client (which has cool benefits like the client displaying it in any language)

Which is why it's width isn't actually anything, but you can get it's English name using

!t strip_color

[valid sandal]

Tag: <ElementTag.strip_color>

Returns the element with all color encoding stripped.
This will remove any/all colors, formats (bold/italic/etc), advanced formats (fonts/clickables/etc), and translate any translatables (&translate, &score, etc).
This will automatically translate translatable sections

Returns

ElementTag

Mmmmh... I see, yes

So the text is never translated server-side? There is no way to get the clients language?

[echo tiger]

!tag playertag.locale

[valid sandal]

Tag: <PlayerTag.locale>

Returns the current locale of the player.

Returns

ElementTag

[echo tiger]

you can use this, and use a choose/case matching to determine a length of text pre-defined by you, but otherwise no - this isn't something that a tag can automagically resolve your initial request

oh! seems interesting!
can I also access the translatable ? I don't really understand how the <&translate[]> tag works but it would be very useful to be allowed to translate a material/entity name with a given language (as <player.locale>)

!t translate

[valid sandal]

Cannot Specify Searched Tag

Multiple possible tags: <&translate[<key>]>, <EntityTag.translated_name>, <MaterialTag.translated_name>, <&translate[<key>].with[<text>|...]>.

!t <&translate[<key>]>

[valid sandal]

Tag: <&translate[<key>]>

Returns a special chat code that displays an autotranslated message.
For example: - narrate "Reward: <&translate[item.minecraft.diamond_sword]>"
Be warned that language keys change between Minecraft versions.
Note that this is a magic Denizen tool - refer to !language Denizen Text Formatting.
You can use !tag ElementTag.strip_color to convert the translated output to plain text (pre-translated).

Returns

ElementTag

The translate tag does what Material.translated_name does automatically for you for materials

It uses the client locale to return the proper translation

If you add strip_color again, it will output the english translation.

[celest crown]

But I can't get the translation server-side? So I can use the translated plain text in my scripts

[dense swan]

no you cant get translations server side, the server doesnt have it

[austere cypress]

The server only has English translations, as mentioned above ^ - if you really want to you can download and load other translation files yourself, but that's usually overcomplicating
