Internationalisation (local)

As with DataTables, the interface that is presented to the end user by Editor can have the language strings used customised as you wish. This allows Editor's interface to be presented in languages other than the default English - indeed this can be useful to modify the default English strings if you so require.

This customisation is done through the i18n initialisation options. See the internationalisation manual for further information.

This example shows how Editor and DataTables may have their language strings customised. In this example French is used to show this ability.

With Editor 2 it is also possible to load language options into Editor through a JSON language file loaded by DataTables' language.url option. See the file internationalisation example example for details.

In addition to the above code, the following Javascript library files are loaded for use in this example:

The HTML shown below is the raw HTML table element, before it has been enhanced by DataTables:

This example uses a little bit of additional CSS beyond what is loaded from the library files (below), in order to correctly display the table. The additional CSS used is shown below:

The following CSS library files are loaded for use in this example to provide the styling of the table:

This table loads data by Ajax. The latest data that has been loaded is shown below. This data will update automatically as any additional data is loaded.

The script used to perform the server-side interaction for this demo is shown below. This server uses PHP, so the PHP script is shown, however our download packages include the equivalent script for other platforms, including .NET and Node.js. Server-side scripts can be written in any language, using the protocol described in the Editor documentation.
