I would like my displayed table to be in french. is that possible ? i don't think i saw a langugage option in the wpdatatable plugin.
If there is no option language for french i'd happily translate something for you. I just really need to display the french version of some keywords such as "next" "previous", etc. in the front page.
The plugin can be translated using POEDIT or Loco Translate easily. I suggest installing Loco Translate since it's within WordPress and it has a simple UI.
If you want to use POEDIT then please follow these instructions:
1. Download wpdatatables from our TMS Store and save the wpdatatables.zip file on your computer.
4. After that, open the program and open the file from the extracted folder on your computer wpdatatables/languages/en_US/wpdatatables.po.
5. Translate all the strings in your language.
6. Save the file as the plugin suggests (the language code; for example wpdatatables-id_ID.po if your language is Indonesian) and it will generate a new wpdatatables-id_ID.mo file. You can find your language code here.
7. Go to wpdatatables/languages/ folder and create a new folder. Name it as the language code for your language (in our case, for Indonesian, it is id_ID) and then copy these two files called wpdatatables-id_ID.po and wpdatatables-id_ID.mo into it. Proceed with copying the whole folder id_ID back to your website in folder ../wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/languages/.
Of course, you will use language code for your language (we use Indonesian language, and its language code "id_ID" is just an example).
We can't say exactly what happened on your end, but you can download the installation file for the plugin again (from our store), extract it and copy the .po and .mo files from ../wp-content/plugins/languages/fr_FR/ to the same location on your server via FTP.
That will override the file you modified with the original translation file.
