lengthMenu Internationalization

gnulp

I'm using

---

    $(document).ready( function () {
        var table = $('#myTable1').DataTable({
            language: {
                url: '//cdn.datatables.net/plug-ins/2.3.6/i18n/de-DE.json',
            },
            lengthMenu: [15, 30, 100, -1],
            buttons: ['copy', 'csv', 'pdf', 'print'],
            dom: 'Blftrip',
        });
    } );

in some Joomla contend pages on a local WAMP server workinf fine.
After transfer to a hosted Joomla installation, the translation of the lengthMenu didn't work but the translation of the buttons is working fine.
I use as workaround

---

    lengthMenu: [ [15, 30, 100,  -1], [15, 30, 100,  "Alle"] ],

but I'm not happy with this

I would start by making sure the downloaded de-DE.json is correct ad has this in the file:

json "lengthLabels": { "-1": "Alle" },

Possibly an incorrect JSON file is being downloaded or a cached version is being used that is incorrect. Is it possible to link to a test case that shows the issue so we can help debug?

I'd also suggest checking what version the hosted install is using.DataTable.version on the console should tell you, or use the debugger.

Thank you,
I made no changes, then checked the JSON, it was OK as expected. Removed the workaround, and, oh wonder, everything works fine as expected.
