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

MOdules not translated



Posted on 19 February 2012
In Joomla 2.5 modules can translate only title of modules, but hot any fields in modules. are you in possibilities to repair this bug?

Good support, needed extension!



Posted on 17 February 2012
First off, I have used Joomfish for 1.5 sites. Secondly, I did not understand the Joomla 1.7 language pack configuration before I started.



I was really glad to find something to bridge the gap in 1.7. I bought the license because I needed to turn 2 project quickly.



Stephane was really responsive given the time difference. I am in US, she is 12 hours difference... I think.



Falang does not require you enter publish dates.. it does it automatically. So this is better than Joomfish



It installs easily and worked fine out of the box. Stephane's documentation is so easy a beginning Joomla person should have no problem.



Very cool fork! Thank Stephane!

Simply Great

Hello all! First time Im moved to write a review about any extension. I have over 10 years joomla experience, seen many many great extensions, but no matter how good an extension is if the support is bad then the extension is bad also. Tonight, testing this great Joomfish alternative I must say that fullfills all my expectations, and above all, a superb support. As I was testing it I had an issue, and was moved to send an email to the publisher, and incredible, less than 5 minutes later I had a response, 10 mins later everything was fixed by them directly in my site. That's what I call "Good Extension, Great Support". Try it without fears, you won't be dessapointed.

Nice extension, but it still has bugs.



Posted on 17 February 2012
it is a good idea, finally someone is making another component to manage the poor multilingual feature of joomla, the component is growing fast, but it still has some bugs and there is no forum on the website of the developer so there is no way to understand how fix the bugs. I'm having the same bug as the user phoenix011, Falang seems to work well for everything except for the menu items, it doesn't work at all for the menu items.

So I wouldn't say it has a stable release of the component.
Owner's reply: Your review is strange because it's work for everyone with the menu.

Awesome component



Posted on 15 February 2012
Alltogether I am really happy with FaLang.

But today I came accross a really anoying bug. After I translated some menu titles, alias, refreshed the page the translation did not show up!

Everything seems to work ok, I mean, translating content, modules etc, just the menu translation does not work. Please let me know if somebody experiencing the same problem.
Owner's reply: Contact me by mail too fix it.

Excellent extension - Does the job perfectly



Posted on 15 February 2012
Everything is in the title, the extension worked perfectly, and the support is excellent. I worked with joomfish before, since it doesn't exists for joomla! 1.7, i tried this one, and bought it. It is easy to use.

Don't hesitate, buy it!

Excellent!



Posted on 08 February 2012
The extension works perfectly, the support is quick and friendly.

Nice to have in the future: frontend editing like in JoomFish. At this stage FaLang only works in the backend. But there it works perfectly!

Finally suitable solution for multilanguage sites



Posted on 05 February 2012
I am in touch with Joomla since Limbo/Mambo time and designed/manage several websites (some single language, some multi). As for J1.5 was used JoomFish - IMHO best solution for MultiLang. sites, but starting with J1.6/1.7 and now withJ2.5 I missed this possibilty for MLS "easy to go" management.



Few days ago found FaLang extension and... tried it on J2.5 test installation.

Technically - no problem, installed like a charm and plg setled up withot any problems.

Functionally, rather similar to JoomFish (as it is also stated by Author - it's based on JoomFish), still I missed something (due to some missunderstandings or missreadings of docs) in settings or test site settings and not all worked as I expected. Probably, I missunderstood some features or technical aspects, therefore I wrote an email to Author - Stephane. Same day quick reply with short and direct answers, I got the idea and tested it again - all works as described. Fantastic!



Now, only one aspect I found, that I do not know how to solve in easy way (may be have to read and try more) - can not translate article from another language to default site language (there is no possibility to chose it in translation menu). Thus, I found solution - to translate article to default language from another - change default langugae for translation moment.

May be folks can suggest right way for this.



But! A big thanks to FaLang author for this great app for MLS!

Much reliable and good support



Posted on 05 February 2012
I rised a compatibility issue with another extension, and the author fixed the problem very soon and kept me informed about that.

This extension is much reliable and has a good support. -Fox-

Component with mulitlanguage power



Posted on 02 February 2012
My thirst thinking was 'excellent', because of the great component with its features and the very fast en kind support of the author.

At this moment, there are some components which are not supported by FaLang so they can't be translated. No problem, the important things on a joomla site can be translated. I hope in the future there will be some more components which will be supported.

So I guess I can't give less then excellent.

Thanks for this great component!
