 * Hello,
 * I use your wonderful plugin to display a table with dates. I’d like to have text
   like «entries» etc. translated to german. But there is no Plugin Option to: “
   With this setting you can change the language, TablePress is shown in, while 
   the rest of WordPress will remain in the original language.”
 * No option showing, no way to change the setting for the language…
 * Thanks for any hint!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplugin-language-option-is-missing%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * This setting doesn’t exist anymore, as WordPress switched to a different way 
   of how the languages and translations are loaded.
    Regardless, the setting does
   not influence the frontend. To do that, if you don’t want to change the site’s
   main language, you can use a Shortcode parameter:
 *     ```
       [table id=123 datatables_locale=de_DE /]
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
