Joomla Multilanguage

I created a website in Joomla 3.4, but the Multilanguage feature is just not working for me. I have followed the steps here:

https://www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/multi-lingual-joomla/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNI_B3RezgQ

I do not see the flags for my FaLang module and now I have an error about my menu. (my site is salimlawfirm.com/en).

The Spanish site should be at salimlawfirm.com/es but this does not load the website. Instead shows me the root directory.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

To make it work you have to be very meticulous. The ostraining link tells you how to work with third parties module/compontents. But you can achieve a multi-language website in Joomla with no extra help.

  1. Install the language packages you need
  2. Activate the related language plugins if need be
  3. Create a "main menu" (for example choose the type blog)per language where you set at list one item which is the home page of your website. Select the language of that item in the language dropdown
  4. now you can create content, but set every time the language of the post.
  5. Joomla has a build in language switcher module that you can use. set it. Now if you select a language, only the post of that language will show up in your home page. you will need to set a main menu module per language published in the same position as well.
