LANGUAGE FILTER PLUGIN

For Joomla to be able to distinguish between the different languages, the System - Language Filter plug-

in (Extensions → Plug-Ins) has to be activated. You are able to conﬁgure the language to be shown to the

content language will automatically be changed to the frontend language settings.
