<h2>Internationalisation with Country's ISOCODE</h2>

<p>Once the languages files were named based on its language name, and I needed to be based on the country's ISOCODE, I copied all of them into this new ISO folder and replaced the names with its respectively country's ISOCODE. Hopefully, this may be usefull for more users.</p>

<h3>How to use DataTables internalisation options with Country's ISOCODE</h3>

<p>To include internalisation options in DataTables, you just replace the filename you are requesting with the ISOCODE filename</p>

<p>So, instead of using this:</p>

<pre class="brush: html">&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.dataTables.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
	$(document).ready(function() {
		$('#example').dataTable( {
			"oLanguage": {
				"sUrl": "Spanish.lang"
			}
		} );
	} );
&lt;/script&gt;
</pre>

<p>You could use this:</p>
<pre class="brush: html">&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.dataTables.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
	$(document).ready(function() {
		$('#example').dataTable( {
			"oLanguage": {
				"sUrl": "ISO/es.lang"
			}
		} );
	} );
&lt;/script&gt;
</pre>

<p>Or, if it is correctly set, you can get the filename based on &lt;html&gt; laguage property as the sample below:</p>
<pre class="brush: html">&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.dataTables.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
	$(document).ready(function() {
		var language = $('html').attr('lang');
		$('#example').dataTable( {
			"oLanguage": {
				"sUrl": "ISO/"+language+".lang"
			}
		} );
	} );
&lt;/script&gt;
</pre>
