Joom!Fish
I re-installed JoomFish and while I receive no errors, there are no translations except for:

The Search Box
The area that describes the author and time content was written
The footer area


In the Control Panel in the Translations I checked to make sure that everything was published and the green indicator icon was there, not the little red x. I checked to make sure that menus, banners, contents, etc. were translated and published and it there were no red x's. I also looked under Statistics, Check Translation Status and the column "not valid" is all zeros.

I am beginning to see why this "Club Membership" thing is pushed here. Gold Silver and Bronze.... Hmmm.... Unfortunately, small public libraries will never be able to afford these "metals". So it looks my Spanish speaking community better hurry up and learn some english. What a shame.

If you can't afford to be a member of their club, it appears you are out of luck on getting it to do what it is supposed to do - translate pages of a website.

Why didn't I give it a Poor instead of just Fair? Because the administrative side was very nice. To bad it didn't really "translate" anything. But the admin side was very well done and easy to adjust to. It just that it lies to you. It says that everything is translated OK and everything is published but.... none of this is true on the site end.

Hi,

As we say everywhere Joom!Fish is not an extension for automatic translations. Was this that what you expected? Even in our Club you will not find a such an extension. There is a different project this offers something like that together with Joom!Fish
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/languages/automatic-translations/6541/details

May be the combination is what you are looking for.
