Troubleshooting

I don’t see installed languages in plugin settings​

To configure the translation languages:

  1. Open the Joomla administrator dashboard.
  2. Open the System page.
  3. Under Install, click Languages.
  4. Choose a language you want to install and click Install.
  5. Open the System page.
  6. Under Manage, click Content Languages.
  7. Publish the language by pressing the ✔️button in status column.

I don’t see the languages in language switcher​

For the language to show up in the language switcher:

  1. Install the chosen language through System > Languages > Install Languages.
  2. Enable the site language through System > Content Languages.
  3. Choose a default home page for the language:
  4. (If needed) Create a new main menu.
    1. Add an article to the main menu.
    2. Set it as the home page.

Follow the official Joomla documentation: How to setup a Multilingual Joomla! Site

New article wasn't translated​

When creating a new article, ensure the language is set to the source language. Avoid selecting "All" as the language.

Translation quality isn't great​

Machine translation is not perfect. Human review and editing are often necessary for high-quality results. Highly technical or specialized content might produce less accurate translations.

Improve the accuracy by using a glossary to add custom terminology or non-translatables.
