Joomet Component

Joomla Language File Checker & Translator for Developers

When translating your Joomla extension, didn't you constantly think "this has to be easier / faster"? Have you also caught yourself making careless mistakes after you've spent several minutes or even hours internationalizing your Joomla extension?

Or even worse, after you finally finished internationalizing your Joomla extension you realize that a bug must have crept in somewhere?

On average you need about 23 seconds to translate a language string (copy >> paste in translator >> translate >> copy >> paste in new file) if you work manually with DeepL or Google Translator, for a language file with 500 lines this means up to 3 hours per language! Joomet Component can do this within a few minutes and you can even do other things in the meantime.

Download

Joomet Component is available for Joomla 5.x Get the lates Release from GitHub.

Important Note

I recommend that you do not use the Joomet component on a productive installation. With Joomet you are able to overwrite the language files of your Joomla installation. I recommend that you only use Joomet on development environments to check / translate language files.
