Introduction

Languages, Multi-lingual Content, Automatic translations, Language Edition

After more than 12 years Falang is still the easiest system to translate your Joomla site into one or more languages.
You don't need to duplicate everything, just translate your default language into one or more languages.
The most used components are supported by Falang with content element.
You can use translation service to help you in the translation like deepl/google/azure


Falang 5.22 compatible with Joomla 5 and Joomla 4.3+ released the 2025/09/29
Joomla 4 compatible is Falang 4.X version last 4.14 (2023/10/10)
Joomla 3.9 and 3.10 are Falang 3.10.X version last version 3.10.6 (2022/10/21)

Since the 2.0 vesion show you the status of component translation directly in joomla for menu, article, module.... you can easy extend it for almost all components.

The component is so flexible that you can easily add new components at a later date and then translate the new content.

With extensions you can translate k2, aiContactSafe, hikashop, Redshop, jDownload, phocaDownload ....

The free version has a backlink to faboba site. You can remove it if you upgrade to a basic or standard version without losing your translations and parameters.

The Free version has some limitations.

Falang doesn't use the default language system of Joomla 2.5 and 3.5. You don't have to specify a language for each content article or menu item (which results in a huge amount of duplication).

Did you ever ask yourself how you can create a multi-lingual website without copying every single item and re-creating them in the new language? Then Falang is one of the possible answers to this problem.

In case of problems look for the solution in that page: falang’s problems resolution

Falang was a fork of Joomfish (2012)

Support
Functionality

FALANG - MULTILINGUE



Posted on 02 March 2015
Functionality
Ottimo, in un unica pagina hai la possibilità di gestire più lingue. Comodo e funzionale.
Ease of use
Una volta installato è veramente facile da utilizzare, anche da chi è alle prime armi, anzi soprattutto per loro è veramente comodo
Support
Pronto ed efficace, si comunica tramite form del loro sito. Su segnalazione mi hanno risposto via mail dopo 10 minuti con la soluzione.
Documentation
Purtroppo scarseggia, forse perchè è veramente facile usarlo.
I used this to: Trasformare un sito monolingua in un sito multilingue senza dover ricostruire menu, link, articoli. In un unico componente tutto quello che ti serve. Facilità d'uso e completezza lo rendono cosigliabile a tutti.

Great support
