 * HI!
    I’ve tried to translate “Search:” string with TablePress Extension: Change
   DataTables strings. My site is in Catalan. I’ve tried copying and modifying lang-
   ca_ES.json, lang-es_ES.json but nothing happens. Please….help!
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * `lang-ca_ES.json` should be the correct name. Just to be sure, is the “Change
   DataTables strings” Extension really activated as a plugin?
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Any idea? If I create an admin user for you, could you enter to have a look? (
   I can pay for your work).
    Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * yes, if possible, I’d like to take a direct look at this on your site. Could 
   you therefore please create a temporary admin account for me and send me the 
   details via email (the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”)? 
   That way, I can investigate this directly. Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * thanks! I might have found something. It looks like the locale on your site is
   just “ca”. Can you therefore please try again by renaming the file to `lang-ca.
   json`?
