How do I translate the "type here..." string and "All" string in my datatables?

I have the nationalization working, but it doesn't translate the "type here..." string in the search field or the "All" at the end of the length menu. Does anyone know how I can do that?
Thanks!

    but it doesn't translate the "type here..." string in the search field

    What "type here..." string? DataTables doesn't have a default placeholder, although you can set one using language.searchPlaceholder.

    the "All" at the end of the length menu

    Use the lengthMenu options to customise that - All is not in the DataTables defaults, so that must be getting loaded from somewhere else.

    Thank you, allan,
    searchPlaceholder was helpful for translating the "type here..." string in my search fields.
    I am still looking for a way to translate the "All" in length menu.

    For the All, simply put the language string you want into the lengthMenu option.
