language.url and language.select.rows mismatch

Thomasat666

Hi,

I use datatables (version 1.10.16) and try to set the assets in French using the Internationalisation plugins.

So on datatable init, i set:

"language": {
            "url": "../../global/language/French.json"
}

which is my local translation file. I first used the content of
//cdn.datatables.net/plug-ins/1.10.19/i18n/French.json

that is to say copied the content to my French.json file

Then it don't works, and i see English language on Datatables. If i remove

 "select": {
            "rows": {
                _: "%d lignes séléctionnées",
                0: "Aucune ligne séléctionnée",
                1: "1 ligne séléctionnée"
            } 
    }

everything is working fine (except the select rows string of course).

And if i set all this parameters directly on js file, including the select rows, everythings is also working fine (including the select rows string).

Note i also tried with new parameters names, and everythings is working fine if not using language.url

"language": {
            "processing":     "Traitement en cours...",
            "search":         "Rechercher :",
            "lengthMenu":     "Afficher _MENU_ éléments",
            "info":           "Affichage de l'élement _START_ à _END_ sur _TOTAL_ éléments",
            "infoEmpty":      "Affichage de l'élement 0 à 0 sur 0 éléments",
            "infoFiltered":   "(filtré de _MAX_ éléments au total)",
            "infoPostFix":    "",
            "loadingRecords": "Chargement en cours...",
           "zeroRecords":    "Aucun élément à afficher",
            "emptyTable":     "Aucune donnée disponible dans le tableau",
            "paginate": {
                "first":      "Premier",
                "previous":   "Précédent",
                "next":       "Suivant",
                "last":       "Dernier"
            },
            "aria": {
                "sortAscending":  ": activer pour trier la colonne par ordre croissant",
                 "sortDescending": ": activer pour trier la colonne par ordre décroissant"
            },
            "select": {
                "rows": {
                    _: "%d lignes séléctionnées",
                    0: "Aucune ligne séléctionnée",
                    1: "1 ligne séléctionnée"
                }  
            }
        },

Do you know what's happening ?

Hi @Thomasat666 ,

This thread here should help explain it, shout back if not,

Cheers,

The JSON in the language file isn't actually valid JSON. The rows properties need to be quoted. It works when that is done: https://codesandbox.io/s/8zvnjl67l .

That was a bug in the language file, but has been fixed in git now, just not yet released.
