# Which content will be translated?

The component translates the most important Joomla content elements required for building and maintaining a multilingual website structure.

This includes categories, articles, and their related metadata. The goal is to ensure that both the visible frontend content and the essential SEO and structural information are available in all configured target languages.

The following content types are currently supported for automatic translation.

### Categories

For Joomla categories, the component translates:

* Title
* Description
* Meta Information

This ensures that category pages, category blogs, and category list views can be displayed consistently across all languages while maintaining their SEO relevance.

### Articles

For Joomla articles, the component translates:

* Title
* Full Content (Including complex YOOtheme Layout contents)
* Meta Information

This includes standard Joomla article content as well as content created with YOOtheme layouts, allowing a seamless multilingual workflow even for more advanced page structures.

### Custom Fields

{% hint style="danger" %}
**At the moment, custom fields are not translated automatically.** If your project uses Joomla custom fields for structured content, these values must currently be translated manually in the target language versions.
{% endhint %}
