Thanks Stephane for this new tool!

However there is one feature that many translators and translation agencies are missing: the chance to export all the translatable text into XML or XLIFF so that the translations are processed within a CAT tool (like memoQ, Trados or Transit), and then reimported into Falang.

Wordpress already has an extension for this. See: http://wpml.org/documentation/translati ... cat-tools/

I would be more than glad to help you with the testing phase, as I have experience with CAT tools and Translation Memories (TM). This is something many Joomla users are waiting for a long long time.

Thanks!
Daniel

Hi,

I'm also using Falang with Joomla! 2.5, but I can't quite figure out how the search works for my translated entries. I've created a German/Chinese website (only locally) with the entries being in German and then translated to Chinese via the Falang component. Searching for a German term poses no problem, but when I input a Chinese search term, I come up empty. Is there a possibility to search the translated articles?

Thanks, Michael.

Hi Stéphane.
Yes, I use the mod_falang module, but the link for every language is always
http://www.site.ext/index.php?lang=[language_code]
So I can't translate the page I'm reading when I switch language but I'm redirect to the frontpage of the site.
What's wrong?
Thanks for your help and for your great component.

Hi Stéphane,
That´s a great component, I love it! I have just been facing one issue that one of the user comments above: when I install contentelements, the .xml files are correctly uploaded in the folder, however they do not appear as installed in joomla and I cannot work on those translations.
Any idea on how to solve this problem?
Thanks!

Hi Mariette, did you use joomfish contentelements ? You have to change the code a little to let them work with falang, here is an example of an jReviews contenelement:

Original Joomfish:
Code:
<joomfish type="contentelement">
  <name>jReviews Fields</name>
  <author>ClickFWD LLC</author>
  <version>2.0</version>
  <description>Definition for the reviews fields</description>
  <reference>
      <table name="jreviews_fields">
            <field type="referenceid" name="fieldid" translate="0">ID</field>
            <field type="titletext" name="title" translate="1">Title</field>
            <field type="textarea" name="description" translate="1">Tooltip</field>
            <field type="textarea" name="metatitle" translate="1">SEO Title</field>
            <field type="textarea" name="metadesc" translate="1">SEO Meta Desc</field>
            <field type="textarea" name="metakey" translate="1">SEO Meta Keywords</field>
      </table>
  </reference>
    <translationfilters>
      <jreviews_fieldlocation>location</jreviews_fieldlocation>
      <jreviews_fieldgroup>group</jreviews_fieldgroup>
  </translationfilters> 
</joomfish>


You have to change <joomfish> with <falang> in the biginning and the end of the file

Modified Falang:
Code:
<falang type="contentelement">
  <name>jReviews Fields</name>
  <author>ClickFWD LLC</author>
  <version>2.0</version>
  <description>Definition for the reviews fields</description>
  <reference>
      <table name="jreviews_fields">
            <field type="referenceid" name="fieldid" translate="0">ID</field>
            <field type="titletext" name="title" translate="1">Title</field>
            <field type="textarea" name="description" translate="1">Tooltip</field>
            <field type="textarea" name="metatitle" translate="1">SEO Title</field>
            <field type="textarea" name="metadesc" translate="1">SEO Meta Desc</field>
            <field type="textarea" name="metakey" translate="1">SEO Meta Keywords</field>
      </table>
  </reference>
    <translationfilters>
      <jreviews_fieldlocation>location</jreviews_fieldlocation>
      <jreviews_fieldgroup>group</jreviews_fieldgroup>
  </translationfilters> 
</falang>


I hope this is helpfull

Regards

I'm planning to purchase the version without the backlink, BUT...

I installed Falang on Joomla 2.5.2, but the language options do not display. Only the "Active Language" appears. I installed the language pack for English (Australian and USA) Language Packs so I think it is not the language pack.

Any ideas would be appreciated, please.

Regards

Hi,

installation works fine.
I can also translate pages and other contents - but unfortunately my frontpage with the featured articles stay empty now? All articles have language=all an no translation at the moment, so I thought contents without translation will show up on the front page like on other pages ?

Marc.

I have installed Falang and it works but i want to configure it in such a way where users switch to a particular page, they need to be able to enter their content in both languages of a website.

I hope you understand?
Your help is so much much needed.
Thank you

Further to my previous post:
http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=617&t=653646&start=60#p2772492

I did NOT add and publish the language to: Extensions > Language Manager > CONTENT.

I added the language and works as intended.

Great Stuff!

Folks, I remind you that ALL should update to 2.5.3 asap.
1.6/1.7 ARE vulnerable and we will not patch them.

You can't translate your default language (it's why there are no portuguese in the translation list)

Hi, Stéphane

I think that some time ago JoonFish also show the default language.

But you are right , that´s what happens it just show the language that I should translate to.

Thanks a lot to open my eyes , sometimes it´s so logical that we just don´t see it...

Is there a way FaLang can build menu paths from translated aliases ?
I translated both Title and Aliases of the menu links, but the links allway have aliases from the default language, and they should be translated aswell...
I can allway do this through DB manually, but it's inpractical and clients won't know how to do this....

For example i have
HR - www.domain.com/hr/o-nama/kontakt/

and instead of english being:
EN - www.domain.com/en/about-us/contact/
it's - www.domain.com/en/o-nama/kontakt/

Hi Joomla Forum!

First of all a big THANK YOU for all developpers and supporters!

I have three problems with Falang. Because I got them I installed Joomla a second time, there I have just one problem.

First system:
Joomla 2.5.4 installed with jupgrade
Falang installed following this explenations http://www.spoonconcept.com/it/joomla-joomfish-et-falang

Second system:
Joomla 2.5.4 installed manually
Falang installed manually

Both systems are local (xampp)

First Problem (on both systems):
sef doesn't work for the languages that aren't default. For example http://www.mysite.com/en/getting-started becomes http://www.mysite/de/getting-started but should be http://www.mysite.com/de/zu-beginn
The article, the menu and the module are translated in Falang!

Second problem (only on first system):
When editing a Module clicking on save deletes all my work. So the fields stay empty...

Third promlem (first system only):
The menu is translated in Falang, but does not show up in frontend. In the frontend allways the default language menu shows up. Maybe there is a connection with the second problem, as the menu module cannot be translated.

Every help will be appreciated.

As the author said in one of the posts above - It's a feature not yet implemented...

However I've managed to simply bypass this with editing alias values (for translation) with FireBug directly rather then modifying database manually... It get's saved altough it isn't "editable", and what's better - the SEF's work. As I see it, it would only need a small modification on xml files to make this field editable.....

I think you're either doing something wrong or didn't do something right... here are some things to check out which i oftenly forgot to do :)
    Activate joomla's "System - Language Filter" pugin
    Activate Falang's "System - FaLang Database Driver" plugin
    Check active languages (Extensions -> Language manager -> Site - installed / Content)
    Allways check your translations published status

btw. I've Falang 1.1.1 with:
Joomla! 2.5.4 / K2 2.5.6 / JA T3 Framework + MegaMenu and various modules, works ok.....

Hi DarkBlaze

Thank you for your fast answering!

Problem one:
DarkBlaze wrote:

Sorry for double posting. But I myself think this feature is essential...
DarkBlaze wrote:

Is it possible that you explain that a bit more? I don't know where to start. What do you mean by "with FireBug"? For me that's a Firefox extension.

Problem three:

I forgot that often, too. But not this time! I checked this several times. Can't finde the clue.

But I was able to solve the second problem:
Horoman wrote:

As I didn't want to rename the joomfish tables for falang (I was looking for a solution where joomfish on the old system would still work). So I dicided to copy them, that's where I made a mistake. Now with this code it works:
Code:
CREATE TABLE j25_falang_content( PRIMARY KEY (id)) ENGINE = MYISAM CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci SELECT * FROM jos_jf_content;
CREATE TABLE j25_falang_tableinfo( PRIMARY KEY (id)) ENGINE = MYISAM CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci SELECT * FROM jos_jf_tableinfo;
ALTER TABLE j25_falang_content CHANGE COLUMN id id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;
ALTER TABLE j25_falang_tableinfo CHANGE COLUMN id id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;

FireBug is a must have FireFox extension, or if u use Chrome - Chrome developer tools from where you can inspect the input field of the "Translation" for alias or "Menu path" if you wish, and simply change the value (because the fields itself is not editable).
Once you edit it, just save it, and it will save all the params....

I've also made a screenshot :)

Hi Joomla friends

I now fixed problem three. The helping hint I found on the develper page in the FAQ:
Quote:
Menu are not translated
This case can happen with a conflict with another system plugin , (not from the core of joomla), you can make the falang plugin with a higher priority (-1).

In my case the problem was the advanced module manager, even when it was disabled!
Now I put Falang before advanced module manager and the menus are translated.

Migration of joomfish to falang
If someone wants to migrate from joomfish to falang, here is how it worked for me:
    install joomla 2.5 with jupgrade
    go to the database
    run the following code
Code:
CREATE TABLE j25_falang_content( PRIMARY KEY (id)) ENGINE = MYISAM CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci SELECT * FROM jos_jf_content;
CREATE TABLE j25_falang_tableinfo( PRIMARY KEY (id)) ENGINE = MYISAM CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci SELECT * FROM jos_jf_tableinfo;
ALTER TABLE j25_falang_content CHANGE COLUMN id id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;
ALTER TABLE j25_falang_tableinfo CHANGE COLUMN id id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;

    delete all entries in j25_falang_tableinfo except categories, content, menu, modules
    run the following code
Code:
delete from j25_falang_content where reference_table = 'menu' and reference_field = 'link';
update j25_falang_content set reference_field='title' where reference_table='menu' and reference_field='name';
delete from j25_falang_content where reference_table = 'languages';
delete from j25_falang_content where reference_table = 'menu' and reference_field = 'params';

    go to the backend and install Falang

Problem one:
Big THANKS to DarkBlaze for the screenshot. I'll try that. I'm useing firebug for some time, but hadn't the idea.
