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.

Falang was a fork of Joomfish (2012)

I have used this extension flawlessly ever since JoomFish vanished. If you have previously used JoomFish, you will feel at home. If not, it might take some getting used to, but is in my opinion the best translation system for Joomla.



For the first time this week I had an issue after upgrading Joomla & 3rd party components on my site. Stéphane was very helpful and quickly helped find a resolution to my problem.



Thanks Stéphane for this great extension!

It took a while to set up and get working but once installed it worked really well. Easy to use and good support. If anyone is using it in Taiwan, tw is the correct langauge script for the Taiwanese flag.
After trying Joomfish, Joomlas native system and Falang there was no doubt. Falang is the best. No matter what system you use, you will have questions and Stephane at Falang is always helpful, fast to reply and help you fix/explain what the problem is or what you do wrong.

It worked straight from the box first time.

Keep up the good work!
After struggling with the default language component of Joomla, I installed Falang. The installastion was easy, as was creating new contentelements for the website. Some advanced components were hard to decode. I sent a mail to the developer along with the component that I struggled with. The day after, the developer had made ready xml files for the component. It all worked at first try. Great component and even better support. Recommended for multilanguage sites.

very good - very easy

really easy to use. No problems with installation.



thank you for the excellent job!

Best multilingual tool



Posted on 19 June 2014
Without FaLang, having a multilingual website for Joomla 3+ would be a real pain. Everything is much simpler with it, you do not need some complicated setup and article duplication in order to translate an article. Kudos for reviving JoomFish.
I'm working on a site that uses HikaShop and needed a multi-language component. I've tried a few other extensions before, but decided to test FaLang on recommendation from HikaShop and having read some of the peer-reviews here.



I have to say that FaLang is by far the best, most comprehensive, easy to install, and easy to use extension I've tried.



As a drawback, I had an issue in translating some specific HikaShop features (HikaShop Badges URL - so it was pretty specific). I emailed the developer describing the issue in an hope that it could be resolved in a future release.



Within minutes, not only did I have a reply from Stéphane, but also a solution. So, when it comes to support, it's way above what you could expect and way above excellent.



Thank you Stéphane for an exellent extension and for excellent support.

A very goog component

Simple Perfect, keep up the good work.
