# YOOtheme Pro Builder Support

**YOOtheme Builder pages** are only available in the PRO version.  
Unlock this and other features by upgrading to **Joomill Autolanguage PRO**  
  
[Go PRO](https://ext26.joomill.dev/subscribe/order/product/autolanguage-pro)

 **How YOOtheme Pro Page Builder Translation Works**If you build your Joomla articles or pages using **YOOtheme Pro's page builder**, your content is not stored as plain HTML — it is stored as **JSON data** embedded inside the article. This means a standard translation plugin would copy that JSON across as-is, leaving all your texts untranslated.

 **Autolanguage PRO handles this automatically.**  
When translating a YOOtheme Pro page, the plugin reads the JSON structure, identifies all translatable text fields inside it, sends only those texts to your chosen translation engine, and then writes the translated content back into a perfectly intact JSON structure. Your **layout, styling, images and element settings remain completely unchanged** — only the text is translated.

 ⚠️ Important: YOOtheme Pro translation requires** Mode 1: Batch Translate** to be active. The Translate upon Save mode does not support YOOtheme Pro builder content. Make sure you have selected Batch Translate mode in the plugin settings before translating YOOtheme Pro pages.

 Need support for a 3rd party element?

 Are you using a **third-party YOOtheme Pro add-on** or a custom element with fields that are not being translated? No problem — every add-on can define its own custom field names.

 **Just send me an email** with the name of the add-on and, if possible, an example of the JSON output it produces. I will add support for those fields in an upcoming update.
