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

It's better than Joomla's core multilingual! Translations ext. should work like this, very generic and applicable to all kinds of extensions
Ease of use
Super easy. You can not miss whatever you look for. Clear, simple, just enough options. Even free version is fantastic, payed even better!
Support
Stephane provides support right away. Good response, polite answers, cooperative. But I doubt you'l need support! :)))
Documentation
All clear, written on the site, though you barely need it. Just dive into Falang!
I used this to: All sorts of sites. I install it as default component, along with few others. It provides confidence that you build something very serious, offering translated website with price for developing not changed, since it's so easy to use. Great job!

Top plugin, excellent support!

Simplified and stable handling of multi-language sites. I have used both the general Falang extension and the SP Page Builder Translator.

One of the easiest to use Joomla extensions I have come across. This goes for both Faboba Falang and SP Page Builder.

Attentive support with a quick reply to my question and generously sharing of experience beyond the scope of Faboba, to resolve my issue.
Documentation
I could easily find the information I needed to get started using Faboba's extensions (Falang + SP Page Builder)
I used this to: I use Faboba to support multi-language on the web site of a small company that delivers technology consulting services. I have also used Faboba Falang in the context of another company, a few years back. There, as well, very happy with the extension.

Great support when struggling

Functionality
Great when you want to translate your website into other languages. I'm a newbie so I probably have not yet discovered all functionalities.
Ease of use
use is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. As with all plugins, it needs a bit of trial and error.
Support
Support is downright awesome. I've run into two issues that I was unable to fix with the available documentation. No problem to get help.
Documentation
To me it's a bit lean and very technical. A summeray of used terms/abbreviations and their meaning in the translation fields would be great.
I used this to: My blog website is in English and I use Falang to translate it into Dutch.

Great Support
