  I think it has to do with the asynchronous ajax request for the language CDN. The response hasn't returned. See this note in the ajax.url docs:

  Note that when this parameter is set, DataTables' initialisation will be asynchronous due to the Ajax data load. That is to say that the table will not be drawn until the Ajax request has completed. As such, any actions that require the table to have completed its initialisation should be placed into the initComplete callback.

  It works moving the buttons insert code into initComplete:

  Hi,

  Thanks for your answer, unfortunately, it didn't solve my problem. I applied the same code as you mentioned with the initComplete option but it does not work. I have no errors on the console as well, I have no flags to start digging.

  

  

  Like this no problem at all. But

  

  

  

  Some how is not appending the buttons. I go crazy

  You didn't move the buttons insertion code into initComplete as my example shows. Here is the code from the example:

  $("#example").DataTable({
    language: {
      url: '//cdn.datatables.net/plug-ins/1.13.7/i18n/fr-FR.json'
    },
    "responsive": true,
    "lengthChange": false,
    "pageLength": 50,
    "autoWidth": false,
    "buttons": ["excel", "pdf", "print", "colvis"],
    initComplete: function () {
      this.api().buttons().container().appendTo('#example_wrapper .col-md-6:eq(0)')
    }
  });

  Yep, it still doesn't work. But I think Kevin gave you some good advice.

  You need to use "initComplete" to make sure the language file loading will have completed when appending the buttons. Take a look at his example. Here is the relevant code:

  initComplete: function () {
      this.api().buttons().container().appendTo('#example_wrapper .col-md-6:eq(0)')
  }

  When I tried it the first time:

  $("#example1").DataTable({    
          "language": {
              "url": '//cdn.datatables.net/plug-ins/1.13.7/i18n/fr-FR.json'
          },        
          "responsive": true,
          "lengthChange": false,
          "pageLength": 50,
          "autoWidth": false,
          "buttons": ["excel", "pdf", "print", "colvis"],
          initComplete: function () {
              this.api().buttons().container().appendTo('#example_wrapper .col-md-6:eq(0)')
          }
  });
  

  .appendTo('#example_wrapper =>> should be example1

  My fault now it's working like a charm, thanks guys!
