SimpleNews is not a component, but a hack that makes much easier to insert news items into Mambo. It is focused on non-technical users that have no idea (or time) on how to resize images or make a page layout and even better, they just have a simple form to publish these articles without any other Mambo menus or options. It is fast, safe and also keep all pages in a standard layout. Articles admin will remain in Mambo, fully editable at the same way as usual.

For multi-language support, SimpleNews recognizes Mambelfish installed languages and adds new tab for each. It also supports multi-language on main interface (brazilian portuguese and english versions ready).
