This example shows the datetime option being
used with translated text - in this case French. All of the text displayed by the datetime option can be modified (and therefore translated) through the i18n.datetime object.

The Javascript shown below is used to initialise the table shown in this example:
var editor; // use a global for the submit and return data rendering in the examples
$(document).ready(function() {
editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor( {
ajax: '../../controllers/dates.php',
table: '#example',
fields: [ {
label: 'First name:',
name: 'first_name'
}, {
label: 'Last name:',
name: 'last_name'
}, {
label: 'Updated date:',
name: 'updated_date',
type: 'datetime',
def: function () { return new Date(); }
}, {
label: 'Registered date:',
name: 'registered_date',
type: 'datetime',
def: function () { return new Date(); }
}
],
i18n: {
datetime: {
previous: 'Précédent',
next: 'Premier',
months: [ 'Janvier', 'Février', 'Mars', 'Avril', 'Mai', 'Juin', 'Juillet', 'Août', 'Septembre', 'Octobre', 'Novembre', 'Décembre' ],
weekdays: [ 'Dim', 'Lun', 'Mar', 'Mer', 'Jeu', 'Ven', 'Sam' ]
}
}
} );
$('#example').DataTable( {
dom: 'Bfrtip',
ajax: '../../controllers/dates.php',
columns: [
{ data: 'first_name' },
{ data: 'last_name' },
{ data: 'updated_date' },
{ data: 'registered_date' }
],
select: true,
buttons: [
{ extend: 'create', editor: editor },
{ extend: 'edit', editor: editor },
{ extend: 'remove', editor: editor }
]
} );
} );
