# Introduction

This documentation explains how to configure and use the AI-powered translation component for Joomla. The component is designed to help you efficiently translate your website content into multiple languages while maintaining control over structure, terminology, and quality.

By combining automated translation with flexible configuration options, the system enables you to scale multilingual content without losing consistency. It integrates seamlessly into your existing Joomla setup and works with different translation providers such as OpenAI, OpenRouter, and DeepL.

This guide walks you through the key concepts and configuration areas, including language setup, menu mapping, link handling, custom translation rules, and service integration. Each section is designed to help you understand not only how to use the feature, but also why it is important for a reliable multilingual website.

Whether you are managing content yourself or working in a team, this documentation will help you set up a translation workflow that is efficient, consistent, and easy to maintain.

joomtastic AI is developed by [djumla](https://www.djumla.de/) - a web agency based in Cologne, Germany.
