 * Hi,
 * none 🙂 You should not edit any plugin file directly, as those changes would 
   be lost after a plugin update.
    Instead, please use the method and extension 
   that is described here: [http://tablepress.org/extensions/change-datatables-strings/](http://tablepress.org/extensions/change-datatables-strings/)
 * Regards,
    Tobias
