# Editor example 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 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.

Name | Position | Office | Extn. | Start date | Salary
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Name | Position | Office | Extn. | Start date | Salary

- HTML
- CSS
- Ajax
- Server-side script

The JavaScript shown below is used to initialise the table shown in this example:

`const editor = new DataTable.Editor({ ajax: '../php/staff.php', table: '#example', fields: [ { label: 'Prénom:', name: 'first_name' }, { label: 'Nom de famille:', name: 'last_name' }, { label: 'Position:', name: 'position' }, { label: 'Bureau:', name: 'office' }, { label: 'Téléphone:', name: 'extn' }, { label: 'Date de début:', name: 'start_date', type: 'datetime' }, { label: 'Salaire:', name: 'salary' } ], i18n: { create: { button: 'Nouveau', title: 'Créer nouvelle entrée', submit: 'Créer' }, edit: { button: 'Modifier', title: 'Modifier entrée', submit: 'Actualiser' }, remove: { button: 'Supprimer', title: 'Supprimer', submit: 'Supprimer', confirm: { _: 'Etes-vous sûr de vouloir supprimer %d lignes?', 1: 'Etes-vous sûr de vouloir supprimer 1 ligne?' } }, error: { system: 'Une erreur s’est produite, contacter l’administrateur système' }, datetime: { previous: 'Précédent', next: 'Premier', months: [ 'Janvier', 'Février', 'Mars', 'Avril', 'Mai', 'Juin', 'Juillet', 'Août', 'Septembre', 'Octobre', 'Novembre', 'Décembre' ], weekdays: ['Dim', 'Lun', 'Mar', 'Mer', 'Jeu', 'Ven', 'Sam'] } } }); new DataTable('#example', { ajax: '../php/staff.php', columns: [ { data: null, render: (data) => data.first_name + ' ' + data.last_name }, { data: 'position' }, { data: 'office' }, { data: 'extn' }, { data: 'start_date' }, { data: 'salary', render: DataTable.render.number(null, null, 0, '$') } ], language: { processing: 'Traitement...', search: 'Rechercher:', lengthMenu: 'Afficher _MENU_ entrées', info: 'Affichage de _START_ à _END_ sur _TOTAL_ entrées', infoEmpty: 'Affichage de 0 à 0 sur 0 entrées', loadingRecords: 'Chargement...', zeroRecords: 'Aucune entrée correspondante trouvée', emptyTable: 'Aucune donnée disponible dans le tableau', aria: { orderable: 'Activer pour trier', orderableRemove: 'Activer pour supprimer le tri', orderableReverse: 'Activer pour inverser le tri', paginate: { first: 'Première', last: 'Dernière', next: 'Suivante', previous: 'Précédente' } } }, layout: { topStart: { buttons: [ { extend: 'create', editor: editor }, { extend: 'edit', editor: editor }, { extend: 'remove', editor: editor } ] } }, select: true });`

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 processing for this table is shown below. Please note that this is just an example script using PHP. Server-side processing scripts can be written in any language, using the protocol described in the DataTables documentation.
