Hi, If your website is in the subdirectory you need to install GTranslate Pro General version. You can use the same package. Here is the documentation https://gtranslate.io/docs/57-gtranslat ... on#general Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for your reply. We already made the migration from Joomla 1.5 to Jooma 2.5, and we leave the gtranslate folder and .htaccess file untouched. It seems the gtranslate still can work, but I can not edit the translation. I read the link what you provided, I just want to know where I can get (or download) the plugin package (plg_gtranslate-1.7.zip) for joomla 2.5. Without this plugin, I can not follow your provided tutorial.

Hi, You should find the username and password for editing the translations in the /gtranslate./config.php file. Can you please send me your email address?

The reality is when I click the edit icon, it only shows add to cart window, not the edit translation window. So, even I know the exact user name and pwd, but I still can not to edit translation. By the way, I already PM you, please check, thks.

Hi, I checked it with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera . I can see the the edit icon. Just sent the latest version. Please check your email.

Hello Yana, Sorry for late reply. I need the gtranslate pro plugin for joomla 2.5, I already sent you a PM, please resend it to me, thanks.

HI, You can find in in the package after unzipping. You should install plg_gtranslate-1.7.zip.

Installed the joomla 2.5 plugin, but it doesn't translate the title, also can not edit the translation. Check it, please need help: w w w.hkvstar.com/cs/technology-news/how-gsm-alarm-systems-connect-to-alarm-receiving-centre.html

Hi, In order to edit the translations you need to login to the front end using joomla admin account. Here is the login link hkvstar.com/en/?option=com_users&view=login

Thanks for your reply. I can edit the translation now. But I find that the links in article don't add language prefix (es, fr), when click the link, it goes to not translated url, but shows the translation. Now it's fine. Some tips: 1.If you installed sh404sef, disable "Activate SEO Management" (from Yes to No) 2. Carefull change the plugin order, gtranslate plugin must be in front of cache plugin. 3. The order of plugin should be joomla SEF, gtranslate, sh404sef - System plugin. One more question: After I visit the translated url (example: w ww.domain.com/es/, when I go to main url (example: w ww.domain.com), it shows the spanish translation.

Hi, Please try to change gtranslate and cache plugin order . Also try to disable the cache for GTranslate free module.
