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.

This is an excellent tool for quick and easy translation of your joomla site.

It fits perfectly my business day which gives me only occasionally some time to work on the site. With Falang I was able to put the site online and translate it step by step as time permits.

The support is excellent as well. They give valuable hints even when the problem is not primarely with their component.

All thumbs up!
Getting answers in 1 minute and fixing issues in 24 hours.

Thank you Stephane,

keep on the good work.

This component is super. Easy to handle and best of all; it just works!

And if you should need support, it is excellent too. You get answers within hours.

I really recommend this component!

Great support!!

Really quick and perfect help with a little bug.
I have this extension installed on a business website and a NGO website. It has been very easy to install, use and configure even though I am not a programmer, but I had previous experience with Joomfish.

Recently I upgraded and had a problem on the backend of one of my sites. The support was AMAZING. Stephanie followed up on my emails and helped me figure out it was a PHP problem I had to upgrade on one site.

Brilliant component

Easy to use, clean component, but most importantly - great SUPPORT! My problem with web template was solved with attention and professional attitude. Thanks, Stephane!
Perfect in frontend, select the language (flag) and write in the current language. Easy to use. This is necessary to have in every project joomla.
Used to work with the Joomla integrated multilingual tools, I'm very pleased how Falang simplifies the setup of a multilingual site. Support (if needed) is very good. If you plan to add languages to your site, use Falang from the beginning. Problems might show up when the site was designed with the native multilingual system before due to the different concept of the Falang extension. Documentation is a little humbly and could be improved. I will use Falang again in future projects if a multilingual site is needed.

Excellent Support
