 * Hi, Tobias. I really like TablePress; I already have several tables on my website
   and expect to add more. Now I have a new wrinkle:
 * I want to create a parallel version of my site in Spanish. I have changed the
   table language to Spanish in the admin settings, and all of the admin instructions,
   set-up, etc., are in Spanish — impressive! However, with JS functions enabled(
   sorting, searching), I don’t see Spanish in those features on the user end (“
   show __ entries”, “search”, etc.); they’re still in English.
 * How can I change that?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The setting on the “Plugin Options” screen indeed only changes the language in
   the admin area of TablePress.
    To change the language for a table on the frontend,
   you can add another parameter for the Shortcode that you are using for, like
 *     ```
       [table id=123 datatables_locale=es_ES /]
       ```
   
 * If you want, you can also change those strings with this TablePress Extension
   for a certain language: http;//tablepress.org/extensions/change-datatables-strings/
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thanks, Tobias — adding the parameter to the shortcode works perfectly, and it’s
   helpful to also know how to change the words themselves using your extension.
