Joomla Integration

Integrating ConveyThis into your site is fast and easy, and Joomla is no exception. In just a few minutes, you’ll learn how to install ConveyThis on Joomla and add multilingual functionality.

1) Create a ConveyThis Account

To start, your ConveyThis account dashboard lets you view and manage all your translations. Simply create a ConveyThis account here.

2) Select Your Plugin via ConveyThis

Select the website technology you used to build your website. In this case, choose Joomla.
Click “Next” to proceed.

After clicking “Next,” enter your domain name and specify the language(s) you want to translate your website into.

3) Install the ConveyThis Plugin

Go to your Joomla control panel and click System > Extensions. Type ConveyThis in the search field, and the extension should appear.

Click on it to proceed to the installation page, then click the Install button and confirm by clicking Install again on the confirmation page.

Once the installation is complete, go to the Components section. ConveyThis should appear in the list—click on it.

Now, paste your API key into the appropriate field, select the source and target languages, and click Save Configuration.

4) You’re All Done!

That's it! Visit your website, and you should see the language-switch button at the bottom right. It may take a few minutes to appear, so don’t worry if there's a short delay.

Try changing the language once the switcher appears—and, like magic, your website is multilingual! You can now go to your ConveyThis dashboard to manage all your translations.

Congratulations! Now you can start translating your website.

5) Troubleshooting

If you encounter a 404 error when clicking the language button, you may need to enable URL Rewriting in your global configuration settings.
