Add adapter to integrate translation services like Google Translate, DeepL etc.

Good Morning Thorsten,

When I change the language in phpMyFAQ, it updates all the titles, menus, and interface elements (like “Categories,” “Add FAQ,” buttons, and system messages), which is great — but the actual FAQ content (the questions and answers we’ve written) doesn’t change.

It seems phpMyFAQ only switches the UI language, not the content language itself.

I have a multilingual team, and we’re looking for a way to show our FAQ entries in different languages — for example, when a user selects Spanish, they should see the Spanish version of the FAQs, not just translated menus.

Is there a built-in way to handle multilingual FAQ entries automatically, or do we need to add each translation manually?
If manual is the only option, are there any recommended plugins or integrations (like Google Translate) that can help automate this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

You need to translate every category and FAQ by yourself currently. We used Google Translate in the past, but the API is not free any more. If translated categories and FAQs are present, the content and everything around switches correctly.
