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)

I don't write reviews usually but Stéphane really took my attention with his support. as we installed the extension and it worked like charm but we faced a problem with the RTL issue, here is where Stéphane jumped in and in less than 12hr solved it and gave us a site we dream of.

I recommend this Extension to anyone looking for Multilanguage and not only for the extension and technology but the support.

Amazing Service



Posted on 20 January 2014
Falang was working fine with Joomla 3.0 core but I needed help in order to have it working with a 3rd-party extension I've downloaded.

I paid for support and Stéphan never left me alone until his script was workin fine, not only with the 3rd-party extension but even with the multi-menu-template (complicated setting) I have.



I bought several extension (a lot of) but never in my life I've experienced a support like this.



I now can understand why this guy has this level of ranking. You can't imagine a better support and human respect.
Used this component (paid support version... great value) to set up a 3 language site. Works really well and the author is incredibly helpful!



Had some minor issues with K2 fields and the developer jumped in immediately to test and resolve.



Client is very happy, I am as well!



Thanks!
I'd purchased this component (falang standard) and had some compatibility problems with my site. Just any emails to the author and all was solved, with very fast response.

About the component I have to say that now translating my site is very easy. Very useful component for multilingual sites!.
Amazing support for a terrific component. Needed to translate data for k2 extra fields which component did not seem to do. Sent an email to the developer and received response within 15 minutes, on a Sunday, wow! Explained that this was an upcoming feature to be added but sent me a pre-release plugin which worked without a flaw. Best support experience in a long time.

Excelent Extensions

Using Falang Supported Version

Falang is the coolest, easiest, seamlessly and cost-effective way to turn your Joomla based site into a multilingual site, I am using it to develop a multilingual freelancer marketplace, and the support that Stéphane is giving me is amazing, besides the exceptional behavior of the component itself, Stéphane really offers you an outstanding support, he really does care about Falang's behavior.
we working with k2 for all of our projects, since Stephan add the possibility for translating k2 extra fields this is definitely the best joomla multilingual component. we love it!
A fantastic component! It is easy to install and easy to use. The support must be specially highlighted.

We had massive problems when moving from http to https and we bombed Stephane with our email.

Although the solution of the problem has taken some time, we got always quick replies to our emails with helpful information and a perfect working page as an end result.

Dear Stephane, thanks for your support and your product!
I´m using the Joomla 2.5 and the Component Intellectual Property (it´s component for sell properties) with Component Falang. Now I´ve my multilanguage web site but I´ve decided to make a new one instead of old. So, I must to translate my all properties description in my new web OR ask for help from Stéphane in this issue. And he was so kind and imported the whole translation of properties from the old web to the new one, in a very short time.

Thank you Stéphane for your component, time and job.
