Hey dear author,

this plugin is really excellent, but sadly not works well with J2.5 - when can we get the stable, 2.5 version?
Thank you so much, again. :)
Have a nice day!

I like this component so much that i have created a special Joomla! 1.5 translation website, so i can still use the component even now i;m building sites in Joomla! 1.7.

I hope that the extension will be Joomla! 1.7 compatible soon.

I love this component and until I switched to 1,.7 I have installed it on every site I build. It can be a bit confusing for some of my less savvy customers, but that is because they have trouble understanding that they may need to change one word in many places for it to change site wide. But that is definitely NOT the fault of this component, its just the way Joomla works.

I would love to know if this is going to be updated for Joomla 1.7??

I am making my own component and have the need for a language file component. My lang file is big and if I use your component with my file it works really slow...

It takes about 45 seconds to load the page after each row edited, to slow for me...

Also frontend editing wouldbe great:)

Otherwise, a great component!

I've used this in Joomla 1.5 and found it reliable and very easy to work with. But... please consider upgrading this component to Joomla 1.6. Thanks

I didn't need to translate anything... just needed a NOOB way to easily find and edit text on my JA_Purity_II template.

This did the trick! Short and sweet!

Just make sure that when you go to download you use the "1.5.2 2010-09-02 18:00:00-05 com_fftranslation.zip
" version, since it is updated for the latest PHP versions that you likely use on your domain.

Fine find!

I spent 3 days for translating. And after translation for 14xx items, I marked the ini file as complete, what happened? I lost most of the translation and only the 52% left (I began with 73%!), whatelse review can i give?

Brilliant! Made my life easy.

My only regret is that I came to know about this helpful extension many yeas after I started using Joomla in Russian.

Many thanks, Ifan Evans.

Make translation process much easier. I like to use it. I’m missing only one feature:
-ability to save installation packages for a single component;
so I’ll be able share my translations to other.

Simple to install and use. Works great to translate components, plugins and modules!

Only suggestion is to include an option to copy missing tags from a language to other. A lot of translations are missing items, and Joomla do not use the English default, instead it prints the tag. A batch copy of missing items from one language to the other would save lots of time.

I am the webmaster of a french marketing CLUB website and I am using this component for months now. May it be for small adjustment, or for big component translation, I really love this tool.

This is the first extension I install in a new site, and I cannot imagine what it would be like to run Joomla without it.

Really an excellent component.
I started a translation of joomla in my language and this saves a lot of time and helps following the official norms.

This is a very handy tool for translating language files of Joomla! core, components, modules, plugins and templates.

The translation progress is clearly shown for each file. Strings not translated yet are color coded so that you can easily locate them. Extra strings are collected for you to review and maybe delete.

Once you are done with translation, with one button click a language installation file is created for you to deploy.

Highly recommended for any one needs to do language file translations.
