_A visitor follows an old link to your multilingual Joomla site and lands on a bare error page, often in the wrong language._

**Multilingual 404 Page Selector** lets you pick a friendly 404 page for each language, built from your own menu items.

The page still returns a 404 code, so search engines treat the broken link correctly.

A German visitor follows an old link and lands on an English error? Pick a 404 page for each language, and Joomla still sends the 404 code to search engines. The [configuration guide](https://docs.web357.com/multilingual-404-page-selector-for-joomla/configuration/) shows how.

## Features

### 🌍 A 404 Page in the Visitor's Language

**Visitors who hit a broken link stay on your site.**

Instead of Joomla's plain error, they see a page you designed, in their own language, with links to keep browsing. [How it works](https://docs.web357.com/multilingual-404-page-selector-for-joomla/intro/#how-it-works) explains what happens behind the scenes.

- A different page for each published language
- The response still returns 404, so search engines do not index the page as real content
- The Joomla administrator is never affected

### 🔠 One Setting per Language

**Choose the page for each language from a list.**

In [the plugin settings](https://docs.web357.com/multilingual-404-page-selector-for-joomla/configuration/), every published language has its own block with a flag and two options.

- **Default Joomla! 404 Page**, to keep the normal error
- **Specific Menu Item**, to show a page you built, such as a "Page not found" article
- New languages appear on their own when you publish them

## Good to know

- **🌍 Every Language Covered**: Each published language gets its own 404 page, so a mistyped URL never switches the visitor to another language.
- **🔎 Still a Real 404**: The page content changes, the HTTP status does not, so search engines see the broken link for what it is.
- **🧩 Built From Your Own Pages**: Point each language to a menu item, such as an article with a search box and your most visited links.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which Joomla versions are supported?

Joomla **4, 5 and 6**, as listed in the [requirements](https://docs.web357.com/multilingual-404-page-selector-for-joomla/installation/#requirements). The same package still installs on Joomla 3.

### Is Multilingual 404 Page Selector free?

No. It is a commercial extension and there is no free edition. Each [plan](https://www.web357.com/multilingual-404-page-selector-for-joomla/pricing) covers **1, 3, 5 or unlimited sites** and includes 1 year of updates and support, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

### Can I use an article as the 404 page?

Yes. Create a Single Article menu item for it, then select that menu item, as the [FAQ](https://docs.web357.com/multilingual-404-page-selector-for-joomla/faq/#can-i-point-the-404-page-at-an-article-instead-of-a-menu-item) explains.

### Does it work on a site with one language?

Yes. You see one block of settings and can still replace Joomla's default 404 page with your own menu item.

### What happens after the subscription expires?

The extension keeps working on your sites. You can continue using the version you downloaded, but new releases and support stop until you renew, which you can do at any time from your Web357 account at the current [plan prices](https://www.web357.com/multilingual-404-page-selector-for-joomla/pricing).
