When changing the language of the client any translatable chat messages sent in the old language stay in the old message instead of displaying as the new one.

This is a feature request.

I don't really understand how game messages not changing the language when the language is changed in the settings is not a bug.

Please reopen, MC-162441 which is the same but for signs is still open too. As far as I can tell this might've even been a feature that was in the game at some point but broke? (I didn't use translatables back then the sign one apparently worked so I don't really know that)
