DataTables Internationalization

Description

Language files for DataTables jQuery Plugin, based on DataTables/Plugins, powered by Transifex Translation Platform.

Installing

Bower

You can install translations for your project with Bower:

bower install --save datatables.net-translations

You can use a build tool, like Gulp to publish locale directory in your public directory, like other assets.

Manual

• Download the latest release.
• Unzip that download.
• Rename the resulting folder to datatables.net-translations.
• Then move this folder into your assets directory.

Usage

Just follow instructions in DataTables manual.

Translations files named following ISO 639-1 code namming standard and using .json extension. So, for example, default Spanish language file is locale/es/default.json.

That is the file you will use in the language.url option:

$('#example').DataTable( {
    language: {
        url: '/assets/datatables.net-translations/locale/es/default.json'
    }
} );

There is another alternative, using mostly icons, but requires Font Awesome. Usage:

$('#example').DataTable( {
    language: {
        url: '/assets/datatables.net-translations/locale/es/iconic.json'
    }
} );

Use as default for all tables

You can enable default language for all datatables by using DataTables global defaults on initialization:

$.extend(true, $.fn.dataTable.defaults, {
    language: {
        url: "/assets/datatables.net-translations/locale/es/default.json"
    }
});
