Localisation only working on back-end

    I just downloaded this and it looks brilliant. Did some experiments and still impressed. thank you.

    Question. I need to instal this for a friend on a German site. I set the language choice to German and the back-end becomes all German, but the fornt-end stays English. Like for example, at the top of the table > Show XX entries stays in English.

    Is there something wrong on my end or is this not translated?

    If not translated any tips on how to do this?

    Thanks Eric

    Hi Eric,

    thanks for your question! Great to hear that you like the plugin!

    You are correct, that setting only changes the language in the backend, but not on the frontend.
    To change it on the frontend as well, you should install the German version of WordPress from http://de.ww.wp.xz.cn/ The advantage will be that everything will be German: The regular WordPress backend, the TablePress backend (even without selecting “German” in the “Plugin Options”), TablePress on the frontend, and most likely even the frontend of your theme (if it has a German translation). (Instead of re-installing from the fresh download, you can also manually add the German language files for WordPress and change a constant in the wp-config.php file. For that, please follow the instructions at http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Installing_WordPress_in_Your_Language )

    (Now, there’s also a way to translate TablePress on the frontend, even when WordPress is set to be in English. That probably doesn’t make a lot of sense though. If you wanted to do that, you could install the Extension from https://tablepress.org/extensions/change-datatables-strings/ and basically replace the included language file with the German file from the tablepress/i18n/datatables folder. But again, setting WordPress itself to be German should be the better choice for you.)

    Morning Tobias,

    Thanks for your quick and excellent answer.

    Hi Eric,

    no problem, you are very welcome!
    Again, my suggestion is to simply use the German version of WordPress, as TablePress will then be in German on the frontend automatically.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
