The Translator Cape and the Chinese Translator Cape are capes that were given to some players that assisted with the Minecraft translation project in Crowdin. Both capes look identical when viewed from the back, only differing on their undersides.
Distribution
Translator Cape
The Translator Cape was given to some Crowdin proofreaders (experienced translators with moderation permissions for their language)[1] on May 16, 2012 to 29 contributors. A fair dice roll was used to determine which contributors got the cape.[2][3] There were originally plans to give more capes from time to time,[4] but Jeb canceled them after seeing abusive behavior from some translators, such as using auto-translation and down-voting legitimate translations.[5]
The cape was again used a few years later to reward certain proofreaders for important contribution to the project.
Chinese Translator Cape
This variant of the Translator Cape was given to Powup333, Craft_Lawrence and sjjklh on June 4, 2015 for playing vital roles on the Minecraft translation project in Crowdin in Chinese.[6]
The Chinese Translator Cape is identical to the Translator cape except for the Chinese flag on the underside of the cape, similar to the Japanese flag on the underside of cheapsh0t's Cape.

I will obviously update the translator list as time goes on, but it's surrounded with a lot of manual labor, so I'll probably not do it very often. However, adding a note to my calendar to fix yours specifically, on Friday." – u/jeb_ on Reddit
