Set the ARIA label attribute for the previous pagination button. This can be particularly useful for cases where you wish to show an icon such as « or ‹ in the button itself, while retaining full accessibility. Please note that the default value was updated for DataTables 2 to contain a value (previously it was an empty string) due to the use of a UTF-8 character being used for display in the button.

This option can be used to set a WAI-ARIA label for the number buttons in the DataTables pagination control that represent a page number (i.e. the button simply shows a number). This can be useful to add context to what clicking on the button in the paging control will do. The number that the table's page will jump to when the button is triggered is appended to the end of the string given here. If the value is empty (as is the default case), no aria-label attribute will be added to the numbered paging buttons.

This example shows how the internationalisation functionality built into dataTables can be used to show how many filters have been applied in the title section. Values can be defined for individual values like '0' with '_' being for the rest.

DataTables supports RTL languages out of the box for layout, as shown in the example below. Our default CSS requires the use of the dir attribute on the document root or any parent element of the DataTable container. Please note that this example uses JavaScript to add the dir="rtl" attribute to the table container, as the rest of our site and examples pages are not setup for right-to-left layout. If your page already has this attribute set, that extra JavaScript is not required.
