Introduction

Languages, Multi-lingual Content, Automatic translations, Language Edition

After more than 12 years Falang is still the easiest system to translate your Joomla site into one or more languages.
You don't need to duplicate everything, just translate your default language into one or more languages.
The most used components are supported by Falang with content element.
You can use translation service to help you in the translation like deepl/google/azure


Falang 5.19 compatible with Joomla 5 and Joomla 4.3+ released the 2025/05/27
Joomla 4 compatible is Falang 4.X version last 4.14 (2023/10/10)
Joomla 3.9 and 3.10 are Falang 3.10.X version last version 3.10.6 (2022/10/21)

Since the 2.0 vesion show you the status of component translation directly in joomla for menu, article, module.... you can easy extend it for almost all components.

The component is so flexible that you can easily add new components at a later date and then translate the new content.

With extensions you can translate k2, aiContactSafe, hikashop, Redshop, jDownload, phocaDownload ....

The free version has a backlink to faboba site. You can remove it if you upgrade to a basic or standard version without losing your translations and parameters.

The Free version has some limitations.

Falang doesn't use the default language system of Joomla 2.5 and 3.5. You don't have to specify a language for each content article or menu item (which results in a huge amount of duplication).

Did you ever ask yourself how you can create a multi-lingual website without copying every single item and re-creating them in the new language? Then Falang is one of the possible answers to this problem.

In case of problems look for the solution in that page: falang’s problems resolution

Falang was a fork of Joomfish 2.1.7 which has been re-written to be compatible with Joomla! 2.5 and Joomla! 3.9

Worked perfect and quite easy to use. It was more complicated (for me) to learn how to add new languajes to joomla than use Falang.

Easy to use. The possibility to translate the articles and menus directly from the "articles view" is great, all is faster (paid version)

great and fast support. I wanted to add separators in the language selector, I contacted the developer and he helped me till it was done :-)

Well documented.

Great tool - great support

Functionality
The functionality is great and it does what I need and what it promises. The developer is continuously developing new features.
Ease of use
articles, modules, menus, whatever you want to translate it can be achieved.
Support
As my installation is probably one of the largest out there some support was needed. The developer answers all emails within hours. Great!
Documentation
I used this to: I am running a website with 56 languages. In some countries like Spain, Colombia and Peru individual language files based on the Spanish language files were needed. The developer helped us to localize it. For me it is the best tool out there!
