Joom!Fish
I was really excited about this program because of all the hype around it. I actually thought this would do the job. However, it defaults to en-GB and it's impossible to remove it. Also, the translated articles do not show up correctly. When you view the site in the original language, the translated article shows up! When you view the article in the translated language the original language shows up with a message underneath the article title that there isn't a translated version! I spent ALL NIGHT LONG trying to get this program to function correctly. I even spent hours going through the code and reprogramming the whole thing just so that it would default to en-US. But even after I finally managed to get that working, there was still the problem of showing the wrong pages! This program's heart is in the right place but it's a total waste of time.

Hi,

Did you just installed a new language pack of en-US and set this to default in your site? The default language is clearly not fixed in Joom!Fish.

I have the impression there was some mis-understanding how the process works and this is something I would really love to discuss with you to improve our documentation and tutorials. If you would please contact us via the joomfish.net/forum.

Joom!Fish is serving well for huge websites with a couple of languages, if they would have these kind of problems we would not be where we are. Looking forward talking to you and improving the tutorials.
