Does EB work on a site already using Falang

We use Falang on our website because it is necessary to support some other components, including Hikashop, that can't use native Joomla Multilanguage. Is it possible to also use Falang translation with Event Booking? The translation management tools in Falang also appear to be better than those of native Joomla Multilanguage.

Hi Paul

Events Booking uses it own multilingual system (it is better than Joomla core) - see eventbookingdoc.joomservices.com/multilingual

However, we haven't tested it with Falang yet, so I am not sure if it works. You can try to install it to your site and check it to see whether it works. At the moment, we only tested it with Joomla core multilingual

We have installed it and it does not conflict with Falang. As you pointed out, it doesn't use any of the Falang language management components, but your EventBooking translation system is very good and works quite well on its own.

Just for your development thoughts, Falang has two features we miss in translating Event Booking:

• a facility for identifying content that HAS NOT been translated properly yet. This includes missing translations, unpublished translations and out-of-date translations where the original content has changed.
• the ability to translate the content side-by-side, so that the translator can see the original content while entering the translated content.

Both of these make the translation process faster and more efficient. If there's any way to do something similar with Event Booking, we would love it.

Thanks again,
Paul

Hi Paul

For now, please try to manage the translation in Events Booking yourself, the only thing I plan to improve now is allow copy the content of default language to the additional languages (just in case you don't want to perform translation but use the content from default language to display in the other languages). At the moment, if you don't translate the item to one language (for example, not translating category), that item won't be displayed in that language
