When you summon a new entity with a translated name and you select that entity by name, the selection is not the same in 2 different languages.
Example:
Select English (US) in language settings.
/summon minecraft:cow ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"{\"translate\":\"entity.minecraft.chicken\"}"
Test:
/say @e[name=Chicken] Result: [Mondemen] Chicken // It probably works
/say @e[name=Poule] Result: [Mondemen] // It's normal
Now if you change the language to French and you retry the previous commands:
/say @e[name=Chicken] Result: [Mondemen] // No selection
/say @e[name=Poule] Result: [Mondemen] Poule // Selection
Normally and logically, I think that in this case, it will only be necessary to test the name of the translation, not the value.
In addition, the translations are only client-side, non-server, does it mean that the server retrieves client translations?
It's not very clear.
The
nameuses the language of the server, which isUS Englishfor dedicated servers, but the language of the client for singleplayer worlds. 🙂
