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)

Very good extension, works fine, easier than the original, I was having a problem wit this extension, which came from another extension.



I would never have found the issue myself, Stephane went in to our website and corrected the problem.

Good job done !

A must have



Posted on 08 March 2012
This extension is a must have for those who relay on muntilingual sites on Joomla 2.5.

Easy, clean and straighforward.

Translations have never been so easy.

Great job Stéphane!

Just Great!

Great support from author. Great extension for anyone who needs multiple languages on a joomla site. 5 stars earned!
hallo!

I was very disappointed as could not find any news regarding JoomFish for Joomla 2.5; by random I found FaLang and now I am very happy!

The support from Stéphane Bouey is just fantastic :-)



please continue supporting this component!

Wonderful

I found FaLang after failing to make a multilingual site using standard Joomla 1.7 and I am so happy!

Quick and easy, I translated everything as I want.

It's very nice and very useful extension!

a fantastic component

hello,

I loved this component, I tried at first the free version menus, article and modules have very good market by 5 munites cons I have not succeeded in translating two components (widgetkit and rsform ) but thanks to the support professional stephane I could have my website translated carefree and not even 10 munites! I'm flattered! thank you very much Stephane! it is very pleasant
I developed a couple of websites with Joomla 1.5 and Joomfish. Joomla moved on, Joomfish slowed down and I was left with a problem. I thought there was no alternative to such a consolidated and solid solution like Joomfish.

There are two good news. 1. FaLang is a perfect and simple alternative to manage multilingual sites that just works, and 2. The support is outstanding. Stéphane's quality of support is top notch to the point of raising the question: does that guy ever sleep?

What I was looking for



Posted on 27 February 2012
It's what I was looking for since joomfish is not compilant with lastest joomla versions.

It works perfectly when you do the thing correctly.

And more important, Stephane Bouey give a great support to it.



A must to have.

Awsome extension



Posted on 23 February 2012
I tried the free version of Falang. I think it is easy to use and that saves you a lot of time because using the Joomla built in translation system is very tedious because you have to duplicate the content for each language. When translating a menu item I had a problem so I contacted the developer. He answered me very soon so I decided to buy the component license. He solved my problem fast and efficiently. I think this extension is a must have for Joomla multilingual sites.

Easy to use, great concept



Posted on 22 February 2012
We have used this component on a larger site. It has been published in more than 5 languages. Among these, the following non-western languages: arabic, chinese and russian.



We used the FaLang component and Joomla 2.5.1.



The component has worked out great for us. The support from the author was very fast and responsive.



The component is easy to install and use. We did some adaptions to be able to translate site specific content (event/calendar functions), and didn't encounter any problems in doing so.
