# Language settings

The data table language can be defined on global level for all data tables in plugin settings and for specific data table in the Data Tables advanced settings section.

## Global data table language

To change the global data tables language:

- Click the Settings icon on the menu bar
- Select tab Data Tables
- Select your **Front-End Language** (default = English)
- Save your settings

  All data tables will use this setting by default.

## Data table specific language

To change the language of a specific data table:

- Click the Tables icon on the menu bar
- Edit your data table
- Add option **wpda_language** to **[advanced settings](/docs/advanced-settings/)** (see example below)
- Save your data table

This will change the language for the edited data table only.

## Video Tutorial

Change data table language to Dutch

```
{ "wpda_language": "Dutch" }
```

## Note

Option **wpda_language** allows to show multiple data tables on the same page using different languages.
