 * Hi,
 * Does TablePress has any option to localize the texts appear in the table? Such
   as the table header?
 * Currently we are using GTranslate to translate our page, and we want to localize
   your table header as well.
 * For example, in the following URL:
 * [https://www.datanumen.com/zh-CN/resellers/](https://www.datanumen.com/zh-CN/resellers/)
 * You can see the table header such as “Show ### entries”, “Search” are not localized.
   We ask GTranslate, and they said as below:
 * > These texts are hardcoded inside wp-content/plugins/tablepress/js/jquery.datatables.
   > min.js file.
   > If Tablepress plugin modifies the code and sends these texts via a separate
   > Ajax call in JSON format our system will be able to translate them.
 * So is there such an option or solution?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Translating these texts with external plugins is not directly possible, but should
   also not be needed. Instead, you can use the approach from [https://tablepress.org/extensions/change-datatables-strings/](https://tablepress.org/extensions/change-datatables-strings/)
 * Then, to assign different languages to different tables, use a Shortcode parameter,
   like
 *     ```wp-block-code
       [table id=123 datatables_locale=de_DE /]
       [table id=123 datatables_locale=zh_CN /]
       ```
   
 * for example.
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias
