  The tags input has three strings it can display (other than the tags themselves of course):

              tags: {
                  addButton: '+ Add',
                  noResults: 'No results found',
                  placeholder: 'Type to search'
              },
  

  Are those the strings that you are referring to? Can you show me how you are adding them to the language file?

  Thank you for the answer!

  Here the screens of the part of the json (download from the DT repo on github) I used.

  Attempt 1:
  

  Attempt 2:
  

  I also tried the same as above, but moved inside the "editor" key.

  All attempts have been ignored, and language remained in english.

  FYI, "autocomplete" key was my personal long-shot tentative

  Thank you again!

  Hi Fabio,

  Thanks - I do indeed see the problem. Many thanks for the extra details. At the moment the workaround would be to set the values on the Editor default object:

  $.extend(DataTable.Editor.defaults.i18n.field.tags, {
    addButton: '+ A',
    noResults: 'B',
    placeholder: 'C'
  });

  I'm going to have to have a think about how to handle this. The problem is that the field is created and the language strings parsed before the DataTable has even been created, nevermind it having sent and received a response to an Ajax request for language information.

  Possibly I'll need to update the language strings dynamically, which is more overhead than I'd wanted, but I'm not currently seeing an alternative. I'll need to mull this one over a bit!
