How do I change leading texts to another language

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

Changing these is possible with this TablePress Extension: https://tablepress.org/extensions/change-datatables-strings/

Hi Tobias,
Think I have followed your installation instruction, but …
Please take a look here: https://ask4photos.com/kunst-og-illustrationer-art-illustrations/
Did not change anything in the lang-da_DK.json file as it is fine as is.
Only, I still get the English texts. What have I missed?

Hi,

ok, from what I can see, your site is using the English package of WordPress (i.e. your admin area is English, right?).

You will therefore need to tell TablePress to use the Danish translation on the frontend, e.g. by adding an extra parameter to the Shortcode:

[table id=123 datatables_locale="da_DK" /]

If you did not make modifications, you should not even need the TablePress Extension then.

Hi Tobias,
Yes, I prefer the admin area to be in English.
And I thought that the TP Extension would save me from altering the shortcode for each table – i.e. it would override the package language regarding Table Press as a whole. Why else use an extension?

Hi Eigil,

the idea of the Extension is to give users a way to modify the strings in their language.
You could however also use it to set a default language. For that, just extend it with this PHP code:

add_filter( 'tablepress_table_render_options', 'eigil_change_datatables_locale', 10, 2 );
function eigil_change_datatables_locale( $render_options, $table ) {
	$render_options['datatables_locale'] = 'da_DK';
	return $render_options;
}

With that, you won’t have to use the Shortcode parameter.

Hi Tobias,
Just what I had in mind. And sorry for the delay.
An appreciation is on its way.
