I solved this with adding a function and a custom language file.
I add the code below to the class.wpdatatables.php file line 474. Then add a language file SAMPLE.inc.php to the source/lang/ folder.
public function setInterfaceLanguage($lang)
{
$l = $this->getLang();
if($l == 'en') {
$lang = 'SAMPLE.inc.php';
}
if (empty($lang)) {
throw new WDTException('Incorrect language parameter!');
}
if (!file_exists(WDT_ROOT_PATH . 'source/lang/' . $lang)) {
throw new WDTException('Language file not found');
}
$this->_interfaceLanguage = WDT_ROOT_PATH . 'source/lang/' . $lang;
}
Hi zihniates,
I am glad that you find some workaround, but this will be overwritten in next update, so you will need to do it again.
Instead of that we will provide you a solution with a new hook that you can use, and it will be included in next update, so you don’t have to worry about updating code.
Here is what you need to do:
1) Replace your custom code with this
$lang = apply_filters('wpdatatables_filter_interface_lang', $lang, WDTSettingsController::getArrInterfaceLanguages(), $this->getWpId());
2) in file wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/source/class.wdtsettingscontroller.php around line 125 you will find function getInterfaceLanguages
and after it add new function like this
/**
* Returns languages as assoc array
*/
public static function getArrInterfaceLanguages()
{
$newArrLang = [];
$languages= self::getInterfaceLanguages();
foreach ($languages as $language) {
$newArrLang[$language['name']] = $language['file'];
}
return $newArrLang;
}
3) Then in your functions.php file of the theme or your child theme add this
function changeLang($lang, $availableLanguages, $tableID){
// $lang (string) is file name from source/lang directory in plugin
// $availableLanguages (array) is assoc array of available languages from source/lang directory in plugin
// for example if you need German language you will use like
// $availableLanguages['German'] to get file name for that language from source/lang directory in plugin
// $tableID (string) is table ID
//We use the native WordPress function get_locale().
//Or the Polylang function pll_current_language(). But you must first test that it exists.
// See: https://polylang.pro/doc/function-reference/
$currentLanguage = get_locale();
// In our case we are using English (United States) so the language slug is
// en_US, so in your case can be something else depends on of the WordPress
// language settings
if ($currentLanguage == 'en_US')
$lang = $availableLanguages['English'];
return $lang;
}
add_filter('wpdatatables_filter_interface_lang','changeLang', 10, 3);
4) On the end you will rename SAMPLE.inc.php file to english.inc.php
Best regards.
