Editing languages

Editing mode is designed to allow properties to have their own custom text. This is language sensitive, so when you use Joomfish to switch languages then when you edit text in one language this change will only apply to that language. This allows you to have different words for different languages for each and every property. Beyond using Joomfish to detect the current language for a page Paxsoft does not use Joomfish in any way. There are two reasons for this: 

1. I believe that all of Paxsoft' core functionality should not rely on any other non-Explore core functionality. This means that Paxsoft isn't reliant on any other third party component to perform its functions. It also makes your job much easier regarding upgrading Explore and Paxsoft. 

2. Paxsoft uses just one database query to load all of the property specific custom text for use by the jr_gettext function. I don't know how many queries Joomfish might require to do the same job, or even if it can, but using my own code I know that Paxsoft has done the job with the minimum number of database queries possible.

Paxsoft uses it's own functionality to enable you to edit the language text for each and every property on the system. See this tutorial for more information.
