Simple yet powerful by diddly, May 16, 2008
Great stuff. I used Xoops in my other website development that had this feature and found this plugin very easy to install and implement. I´m waiting for new enhancements.


SEF troubles by intermix, January 8, 2008
This is really great. What I like best about this is that if you only have some materials translated, you can easily handle it without installing a major component.

Thank you very much - this answered a problem I have had perfectly.

I have had trouble with SEF as one other has mentioned. I will email more details directly but in testing I tried disabling sef advance and then the joomla sef and only then did it fire. Perhaps it is an issue with some SEF solutions and not others.

I am happy to provide access to trouble shoot and inspect if that as desired. As mentioned I will email those details directly - I wanted to post my review however to say how excellent this plug in is. Thank you!

Good tool by eirik, May 17, 2007

This a good tool for publishing multilingual content. I like the fact that it remembers your selection for the future so you don't have to choose each time.

The one thing I do not like is that the description of the language is written in english. It would be better if for example spanish ({spa}) came up with Espanol, not spanish. I figured I could work around this by creating my own to custom languages (norwegian and spanish), but then I'm stuck with English that I am not going to use but is impossible to deselect.


Not working for more than 2 languages. by RBasil, April 24, 2007
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
When trying to add a third language I get the error:

(Domain name removed)

Notice: Undefined offset: 2 in C:\Domains\domain-name-removed.com\mambots\content\joslang.php on line 270


Owner's reply:
Not sure what you're doing there. The demo page has 4 languages enabled.

You can email me if you need support.

Simple & Easy by olthof, April 22, 2007

This was the best option i found and it nice and simple. The only problem i've found is that it doesn't work in "description" section of Categories in Joomla :( If it could that would be great!

Apart from that, nice, simple and fast.


Owner's reply:
Yes, at the stage, the plugin is limited to translating normal content items but I'll look into the section / category description text also.

No OpenSEF Support by dimaxer, February 18, 2007
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
This plugin is really awesome. Unfortunately, it does not support OpenSEF or SEF functionality. If author would add this support this would be fantastic. Please! :)


Owner's reply:
You may notice the demo page is a SEF URL. It works fine. The demo site is running Artio SEF. A previous commenter also stated it works fine with SEF enabled. In any case, I'll look into just to be sure. But at this stage I think it's false to say it doesn't support SEF functionality, because it does, as the demo page indicates.

I am considering Joomla for a new site I am developing. I still have a lot of questions but this module clearly solved one problem is a very nice and clean way.

While the site itself will need to be in multiple languages, this module solved to problem with regard to content. Very cool.
