Here is an example of translating the article content in two ways:
Using Falang
1. Go to the top menu in Joomla and select Components → Falang.
2. You will now be brought to a page that lists different options within Falang. Click on the “Translation”. Within the “Translation” page there are “Languages” and “Content Elements” dropdowns on the right side of the page.
3. Under the Languages dropdown, select the language you want to translate into. Please note that you have already set up the system to display your languages in the dropdown.
4. Under the Content Elements dropdown, you will notice that there are many selections to choose from. In this tutorial, we’ll use “Article” as the example.
5. To start translating, click on an Article Item from the listing. You will see a screen similar to the one below. You can insert new content into Translation fields.
6. When content is translated, make sure to check the Published option on the right of the text fields.
7. And then click the Save button to save your changes, the new translation will appear on the site.
