How should oLanguage be passed to dataTable.defaults?

korukyu

I'm trying to set oLanguage's values in $.fn.dataTable.defaults, but it doesn't seem to work. In fact, when it's included, none of the other defaults work, either.


http://live.datatables.net/eselem/
Here adding the oLanguage variable makes the table ignore the bPaginate completely because oLanguage is set.

http://live.datatables.net/eselem/2/
But here the pagination works fine without oLanguage set.

This is really weird, since the page on dataTable.defaults says that it takes all the same parameters as a regular initialization. Does anyone know how to make it accept oLanguage?

Thanks!

It does take the same parameters, but your need to deep copy the objects, not shallow copy :-). As it was you were overwriting the DataTables full default set! All you need to do is pass in 'true' as the first parameter to $.extend: http://live.datatables.net/eselem/3/edit

I don't know what that means, but it works.

Thanks!
