Still translating Joomla the hard way?

Building a multilingual Joomla site usually means doing everything twice. You copy the article. You paste the text into Google Translate. You copy it back. Then you have to manually associate the two articles. Then you have to recreate the menu item. Then you have to fix the internal links. It’s a repetitive, error-prone cycle that kills your productivity.

The One-Click Revolution

With Joomill Autolanguage plugin, you simply write your content in your main language and hit Save. That’s it. Our plugin works in the background to clone your content, translate it using premium AI (DeepL/OpenAI/Anthropic), and most importantly, automatically set up all the complex Joomla associations for you. It’s like having a full-time translation team inside your CMS.

More Than Just Text

Most plugins just translate articles. We go deeper. Joomill Autolanguage plugin automatically clones and translates Categories, Menu Items, Custom HTML Modules, Tags and even Mail Templates. It preserves your entire site structure, ensuring that a nested menu in English is perfectly replicated as a nested menu in Dutch, French, or Spanish.

No More Broken Links

This is a game-changer. If your original article links to your 'Contact' page, our plugin detects that link during translation. It automatically rewrites the link in the translated version to point to the translated 'Contact' page. No more 404 errors, zero manual fixing required

Rank in Every Language

We don't just translate the body text. We handle the critical SEO fields that others miss: Browser Page Titles, Meta Descriptions, Meta Keywords, and URL Aliases (Slugs). We even translate Image ALT tags and Captions to ensure your images rank in local search results.

Native Joomla Associations

We use Joomla's native association system. This means your language switcher works perfectly out of the box. No proprietary lock-in, no hacky overrides. Just clean, standard Joomla database entries that interact perfectly with other plugins and templates.

YOOtheme builder translations

The plugin works on the core Joomla content level. When you create a Template in YOOtheme PRO and load standard content with custom fields this is fully supported. YOOtheme Builder pages and Builder modules are supported, including ZOOLanders Essential Addons field

Seamless Workflow

The plugin hooks directly into the standard Joomla 'Save' action. There is no new interface to learn. You simply work as you always have. Need to update an article? Just save it again, and you can choose to update all translations automatically or keep them as they are.

One Plugin, Two Translation Modes

Mode 1: Batch Translate

You select one or more items (articles, modules, menu items, etc.) from the Joomla list view and trigger translation on demand. You decide when and what gets translated. Great for translating existing content in bulk or when you want full control over the process.

Mode 2: Translate upon Save

Every time you save a content item in Joomla, Autolanguage PRO automatically creates or updates the translations in the background. The moment you hit Save, your translations are taken care of. Best for when you always want translations to stay in sync.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to pay for the translation services?

You will need your own API Key. However, DeepL offers a free API tier allowing 500,000 characters per month, Google has a free first 500,000 characters per month, and Microsoft Azure offers 2 million characters for free. OpenAI ChatGPT and Anthropic Claude are pay-as-you-go and very affordable for text generation.

Will this overwrite my manual translations?

You have full control. In the plugin settings, there is an option called "Update Existing Translations". If set to 'No', the plugin will only translate new items. If set to 'Yes', it will update existing translations. Additionally, every edit screen has a checkbox to "Skip AI Translator" for that specific save.

Does it work with Custom Fields?

Yes, the Pro version is designed to detect and translate Joomla Custom Fields (Types: Text, Textarea, and Editor). It preserves the values while translating the content, ensuring your layout remains consistent across languages.

What happens to my internal links?

Can I translate into multiple languages at once?
