Text that is displayed when the table is processing a user action (usually a sort command or similar). Please note that prior to DataTables 1.12 the default for this parameter was Processing.... The processing indicator in 1.12 has been updated to use a CSS animation to indicate that a loading action is taking place. A text string can still be added if needed.

If can be useful to append extra information to the info string at times, and this variable does exactly that. This string will be appended to the language.info (language.infoEmpty and language.infoFiltered in whatever combination they are being used) at all times.

When a user filters the information in a table, this string is appended to the information (info) to give an idea of how strong the filtering is. The tokens _MAX_ and _ENTRIES-MAX_ are dynamically updated - see language.info for information about all available tokens; the same string substitutions available in language.info are also available in this property.

Display information string for when the table is empty. Typically the format of this string should match info. Please note that the same string substitutions available in language.info are also available in this property.

This string is shown when the table is empty of data (regardless of filtering) - i.e. there are zero records in the table.

Strings that are used for WAI-ARIA labels and controls only (these are not actually visible on the page, but will be read by screen readers, and thus must be internationalised as well).
