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)

Excellent extension and great support!



Posted on 21 June 2012
I downloaded the free version first to see if it worked in my site, and it was great! much easier to use than joomfish, I had my site translated in record time. It does exactly what it promises. I bought the standard version to take away the credits at the bottom of the page afterwards. A couple of days ago I upgraded Joomla and it stopped working, but Stephane answered my mail immediately and released a new version the next day. Great support! I warmly recommend this extension and the developer!

FaLang Great Extension!!!

FaLang is the best solution for translation. Great support very fast.

Thanks a lot Stephane!

great extension

This works really well. I had a problem using it but it seemed that I installed the wrong version.

Support answered whitin a few hours. Problem solved.

I must say that it works more intuitive than joomfish or the joomla core extension.

Great piece of work !!!

Great Extension

Still not Joomfish



Posted on 12 June 2012
On a first look falang looks like Joomfish. And indeed functionality is very similar.

Also moving form joomfish isn't a big effort (ther's a tutorial on the developer page).



First difference is: Falang does not support frontend edition!



Second difference - and that's the reason I'm not using it so far: sef url functionality is not supported. While joomfish used the translated menu alias to build the url in falang the url always is in the default language. Like that

-If I move from Joomla 1.5 my content isn't available under the same url -> very bad!!!

-my url is always in the same language -> not good for search engines



A hack in the core files lets you fix that (translating the url) but then the language switcher module doesn't work anymore (and that's definitely not what I'm looking for). Also I have to translate the whole url instead of only the menu alias.



If you don't care about seo or if you do seo with an additional tool falang may be great. No - it is great. And I'm quite sure the developer will add the functionality with the menu alias and then this extension is even better.

Excellent extension and support

Falang is doubtlessly one of the best translation systems out there. After a short play with a free version, I've experienced some problems and Stephane helped me to solve everything in one day! This extension is much more simpler to use than the default Joomla system and actually, any other I've used before (this also includes JoomFish)... There should certainly be more developers and extensions like this one! I strongly recommend using this extension where support is 100% guaranteed and on time! After everything, I've also decided to buy a standard version - BIG LIKE for the extension/developer...

If there'll be other extensions similar to this one, I would definitely use/buy them - thanks!

Great Product



Posted on 09 June 2012
I used to use JoomFish and was very disappointed when it appeared to stop being developed. The choice seemed to be stay at Joomla 1.5 or upgrade and drop multi-lingual support. Then I found Falang and it was great. Generating a multi-lingual site is so easy and Falang just works.



Thank you Stephane for a great product.

Great extension

Great extension, better support! Totally recommend it! (now i'm glad joomfish for j2.5.x is delayed)

Works well with Joomla 2.5.4



Posted on 28 May 2012
Falang installed and is running well on Joomla 2.5.4. I am also using HikaShop eCommerce and have not run into any conflicts. Stephane was quick to respond to my email with support as well. Don't wait for Joomfish... this works well and it works now.

Great Support
