[ Percent ](https://laravel-datatables.com/docs/formatter-percent) Internationalisation ==================== This page covers internationalisation behavior that is built into the datatable package itself. It focuses on package UI strings, package renderers that output text, and where to translate or override each surface. Package UI Text Surfaces ------------------------ These are the text surfaces in the package UI that are already wrapped with Laravel translation helpers. Tailwind theme examples BLADE `{{-- vendor/morrow-it/laravel-datatable/resources/views/themes/tailwind/partials/controls.blade.php --}}placeholder="{{ __('Search...') }}"aria-label="{{ __('Search items') }}"{{-- vendor/morrow-it/laravel-datatable/resources/views/themes/tailwind/partials/settings-dropdown.blade.php --}}{{ __('Items per page') }}{{ __('Filters') }}{{ __('Export') }}{{ __('Columns') }}{{-- vendor/morrow-it/laravel-datatable/resources/views/themes/tailwind/partials/filters-modal.blade.php --}}{{ __('Filter options') }}{{ __('All') }}{{ __('From') }}{{ __('To') }}{{ __('Contains...') }}{{ __('Clear all') }}{{ __('Done') }}{{-- vendor/morrow-it/laravel-datatable/resources/views/themes/tailwind/partials/table-body.blade.php --}}{{ __('No records found.') }}{{ __('Total') }}{{ __('Previous') }}{{ __('Next') }}` ``` {{-- vendor/morrow-it/laravel-datatable/resources/views/themes/tailwind/partials/controls.blade.php --}} placeholder="{{ __('Search...') }}" aria-label="{{ __('Search items') }}" {{-- vendor/morrow-it/laravel-datatable/resources/views/themes/tailwind/partials/settings-dropdown.blade.php --}} {{ __('Items per page') }} {{ __('Filters') }} {{ __('Export') }} {{ __('Columns') }} {{-- vendor/morrow-it/laravel-datatable/resources/views/themes/tailwind/partials/filters-modal.blade.php --}} {{ __('Filter options') }} {{ __('All') }} {{ __('From') }} {{ __('To') }} {{ __('Contains...') }} {{ __('Clear all') }} {{ __('Done') }} {{-- vendor/morrow-it/laravel-datatable/resources/views/themes/tailwind/partials/table-body.blade.php --}} {{ __('No records found.') }} {{ __('Total') }} {{ __('Previous') }} {{ __('Next') }} ``` Translation Keys and Files Used by the Package ---------------------------------------------- The package uses two translation styles: direct text keys and Laravel pagination keys. lang/en.json JSON `{ "Search...": "Search...", "Search items": "Search items", "Items per page": "Items per page", "Filter options": "Filter options", "No records found.": "No records found.", "Total": "Total", "Unknown": "Unknown"}` ``` { "Search...": "Search...", "Search items": "Search items", "Items per page": "Items per page", "Filter options": "Filter options", "No records found.": "No records found.", "Total": "Total", "Unknown": "Unknown" } ``` lang/en/pagination.php PHP `return [ 'previous' => '« Previous', 'next' => 'Next »',];` ``` return [ 'previous' => '« Previous', 'next' => 'Next »', ]; ``` Pagination views use pagination.previous and pagination.next, so those should be translated in your locale pagination file. Package Renderers That Emit Text -------------------------------- Some renderers produce user-facing text and are translation-aware by design. ActionButtons renderer PHP `use MorrowIt\LaravelDatatable\Renderers\ActionButtons;Column::make('actions', __('Actions')) ->renderer(new ActionButtons( variant: 'icon', viewLabel: 'datatable.actions.view', editLabel: 'datatable.actions.edit', deleteLabel: 'datatable.actions.delete' ));` ``` use MorrowIt\LaravelDatatable\Renderers\ActionButtons; Column::make('actions', __('Actions')) ->renderer(new ActionButtons( variant: 'icon', viewLabel: 'datatable.actions.view', editLabel: 'datatable.actions.edit', deleteLabel: 'datatable.actions.delete' )); ``` StatusBadge fallback PHP `use MorrowIt\LaravelDatatable\Renderers\StatusBadge;Column::make('status', __('Status')) ->renderer(new StatusBadge());// If status is empty, renderer fallback uses __('Unknown').` ``` use MorrowIt\LaravelDatatable\Renderers\StatusBadge; Column::make('status', __('Status')) ->renderer(new StatusBadge()); // If status is empty, renderer fallback uses __('Unknown'). ``` If your row values are domain words like Active or Paid, translate those values before rendering, or map them to translation keys in a formatter. Where to Override Package Text ------------------------------ Use translation files for wording changes first. Publish package views only when you need structural or markup-level customization. terminal `php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-datatable-views" --provider="MorrowIt\LaravelDatatable\LaravelDatatableServiceProvider"` ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-datatable-views" --provider="MorrowIt\LaravelDatatable\LaravelDatatableServiceProvider" ``` Published override path TEXT `resources/views/vendor/laravel-datatable/themes/tailwind/resources/views/vendor/laravel-datatable/themes/bootstrap/` ``` resources/views/vendor/laravel-datatable/themes/tailwind/ resources/views/vendor/laravel-datatable/themes/bootstrap/ ``` Directionality (LTR and RTL) ---------------------------- The package supports both left-to-right and right-to-left direction contexts when the table container or any ancestor sets a `dir` attribute. Blade usage with dir attribute BLADE ` ` ``` ``` What updates automatically in RTL TEXT `- Frozen columns pin from the right edge instead of the left.- Column drag drop indicators mirror start/end placement.- Settings panel alignment and flyout placement mirror horizontal direction.- Progress bar fill starts from the logical inline start in each direction.` ``` - Frozen columns pin from the right edge instead of the left. - Column drag drop indicators mirror start/end placement. - Settings panel alignment and flyout placement mirror horizontal direction. - Progress bar fill starts from the logical inline start in each direction. ``` Use the [ Directionality (LTR / RTL) ](https://laravel-datatables.com/demos/features-directionality) feature demo to test these behaviors interactively with one table instance. ### Related Demos [Directionality (LTR / RTL) Features Support both LTR and RTL text directions.](https://laravel-datatables.com/demos/features-directionality) © 2026 Copyright (C) [ Morrow IT Consulting & Services ](https://morrow-it.services) [Terms of Service](https://laravel-datatables.com/legal/terms) [Privacy](https://laravel-datatables.com/legal/privacy) [Legal Disclosure](https://laravel-datatables.com/legal/disclosure)
