How can I manage products in multiple languages at the same time in Joomla? I have 12 languages to manage.

I would like to simplify how I manage my different languages. I dont want to do my modifications one page at the time for every languages. I would like to check every languages that i want to link or to change at the same time. I'm even willing to change my CMS.

Thanks you.

Hi Pierre,

The concept you're talking about is called "Localisation" and it's the concept of loading a different table of data to be used for the text on a page depending upon a user's language selection. All of that language's data would be held together, rather than scattered amongst your code, or mixed in with other languages - making content for each language much easier to work with independently.

I haven't used Joomla in about 5 years now unfortunately, so honestly I'm not up to scratch in it anymore. But I believe you'd have to find a 3rd party plugin to help you manage localisation - I'd be surprised if it's built in by default.

Actually, after a quick google, it appears that Joomla have added a Language Switcher tool since I last used it in 2012. So I'll let someone with more knowledge than me answer.
