JoomFish 2.5 is the full featured release including several addons such as a simple Router for your SEO URL's. It comes with new features such as the integration into the Joomla core translation techniques and enhanced 3rd party support.
Free documentation including video tutorials, first step documentations and additional material is available on our website. The site also includes an open forum for community support and additional resources.
The Joom!Fish club (subscription required) offers enhanced support options and a range of add ons targeted at commercial and professional websites. These include plugins to further manage/restrict the display of untranslated content, restrict certain menus and modules to specific languages and an additional frontend translation component that allows you to manage translators and what they are allowed to translate.

I wanted it to work with Joomfish so much that I installed it a second time on one of my websites after the first try out was no succes. I shouldn't have done that because again it seems Joomfish is not good at handling images; I cannot put images into my content when Joomfish is installed, what is also bad is that it has messed up my joomla website; I cannot access the components page no more and now I can start building my site from scratch again because I can't find another solution. No third attempt to use Joomfish for me for a long, long time.
This component is quite good with his great funcionnalities and no bugs until now.
The only problem I got was that sometimes the change of language wouln't work, but this could be a browser problem also.. you know.. Microsoft stuff..

I like much this module but lamentably I cannot use it in my sites along with the Display News by BK, because the text disappears.

This component/module/plugin suite gives Joomla the abilities it should have out-of-the-box. With JoomFish it can compete with all major content management systems!
What I like best is that you can translate every bit of the web site! Some solutions enable you to have most content translated but there is still a rest in a foreign language displayed. Not so with JoomFish!

This is just what we needed to manage our bilingual Joomla site. It lets us handle the translations straight in the CMS, and the language selection module lets users pick the language to use.
Installation was a breeze, with two small exceptions. Fist, "ISO language codes" can be either two or three letters. It seems the one we were supposed to enter is "se" - which is neither of them, but the two-letter country code. (For Sweden, not for Swedish...) No biggie. The other thing is it took me 20 minutes to realize I was actually already done with the installation - on the Components > Joom!Fish > Translation screen you have to select something in the "content elements" dropdown or it looks as though there is nothing you can translate. Pretty obvious when you know it although I would have used "all" as default rather than "none".
All in all - this really works. I'm happy.
