Are any Joomla core files changed?

Are other languages supported?
The main supported language is English. We welcome any submitted language translations that users might like to contribute. These would then be made available to the whole community.
The component will make use of the Transifex system and it is hoped that some additional languages will be provided as time goes by. Please see the appropriate pages on the site for details of the currently available translations.
Does it work with sh404SEF?
The initial release does not work correctly with sh404SEF and instead uses its own SEF friendly URLs. We may write a sh404SEF plugin when or if circumstances deem it necessary. If you are using sh404SEF it is necessary to configure the component to use the 'Joomla router'.
