The Joom!Fish extensions provides you the capabilities to manage, control and maintain your different language versions of your website.
The purpose of this extension is automatically choose the langauge version of any information of you Joomla CMS that the user choosed to use. To achieve this you need to follow 4 basic steps:

1. Define the languages in which you like to allow your users to view your website using the content language manager.
2. Configure the language selection module and the JoomFish specific router plugin in the way you like your website to behave.
3. Translate your CMS information e.g. for menus or articles using either the direct translation module or the translation overview.
   Don't forget to publish your translations ;-).
4. Add additional translation maps (content elements) to allow the translation of additional information such as your shop, calendar and many more.

Managing website content is made really easy using Joomla! CMS. Adding an other language however can increase the complexity quite a lot.
We highly recommend that you plan your website structure in one language first before you start translating the information. Also plan the translation as sometimes you will encounter strange behavior of your site if you changed something in your original but did not updated the translation accordingly.

Our community support forum is a great source and free of charge knowledgebase for you. You will find a lot of information related multilingual websites, localization and more.

Additionally we provide extended support for this extension that is based on various support and service plans. These plans are availble in our
