Many components
use their own plugins for dealing with their own events.
Languages
Joomla! has multilingual support, which enables us to present Joomla! in many
different languages. Language extensions include files that define translated strings
for different parts of Joomla!.
We will discuss how to create language files and how to use translations in Chapter 2
and Chapter 9.
Templates
We use templates to modify the general appearance of Joomla!. There are two types
of template extension: site templates and admin templates.
Most Joomla! sites use bespoke site templates to modify the appearance of the
frontend (what the end-user sees). Admin templates modify the appearance of the
backend (what the administrators see); these templates are less common.
There are many websites that offer free and commercial Joomla! templates, all of
which are easy to locate using a search engine.
Tools
Tools, although referred to as extensions, are very different to components, modules,
and plugins. The term 'tools' is used to describe any other type extension that can be
used in conjunction with Joomla!.
