  Unfortunately that it not something that is currently possible to change from the Ajax loaded JSON language file. You would need to get the language information (using i18n) after the initialisation is complete (initComplete) and either apply the attribute directly to the button or initialise the Buttons with that attribute at that point.

  I agree and this is something I would like to see added myself. I hope to get a chance to implement it in future.

  hello again
  i dont know how use i18n
  but i use this code:

      "initComplete": function(settings, json) {
          let mtable = $('#table').DataTable();
  
          mtable.buttons().each(function (button, index) {
              console.log(button.node);
          });
      },
  

  but dont like this code and don't perform for buttons-colvis or buttons-page-length

  i need a loop for process all buttons and change that title
  if this loop can save to me parent and child (for buttons-colvis or buttons-page-length)
  that's very awesome

  are you can tips me?

  i use this

  mtable.button(index).text('copy this')
  

  OR

  mtable.button('button.copy').text('copy this');
  

  but cant acess to titleAttr

  No the titleAttr can't be updated dynamically - you need to update the node directly if you are using that technique:

  mtable.button(index).node().setAttribute( mtable.i18n('button.copy') );

  Hi @kitcat ,

  Yep, there was a mistake in that example, i18n() needs a second argument, so it should be

  table.button(0).node().attr( 'title', table.i18n( 'buttons.copy', 'Copy this!' ) );
  

  See live example here,

  Cheers,

  Colin
