### Hi, On the off chance is it possible to change the “No Rows To Show” text in an empty datagrid? Thanks Steve ---

Hey Steve 👋 In the Settings tab, setting `Language` to `Custom` will unlock `Locale texts`. Then you can pass an object with whatever value you want for the `noRowsToShow` key, for example: `{ "noRowsToShow": "No results found" }` ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/3X/2/f/2ffb0d581f445455e384781254d23fb7b9fd0e72.png) You don’t need the full language object, anything you leave out will keep the default value in English. If it doesn’t update, you’ll need to update page or toggle conditional rendering. ---

Hi @Joyce , I tried that and no change - ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/3X/d/9/d9425c02b635214dfa9d678bf9ca2804de5bcad9.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/3X/e/c/ec94233a84a8c95a2ea8f0a21e59764296a82b34.png) What am I missing?

Hi @SynopsisLabs 👋 The key name is exactly “noRowsToShow” You’ll see the modification effective when the component re-renders 🙂 ---

Hey Steve, Your video shows you are still using an incorrect key starting with `No` instead of `no`. It should be `{"noRowsToShow": "No Results"}` not `{"NoRowsToShow": "No results"}` In your video: ![CleanShot 2026-09-17 at 10.58.20@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/3X/4/6/46b1c87a3150bd1e621434706f10599eae47c298.png) Try `{"noRowsToShow": "No Results"}` instead. ---

Ok, my bad. Thanks. Followup question - how would one know what the key should be for translations? Is there a list or format to follow? Thanks Steve ---

Hey Steve, if you look something along the lines of “datagrid language” in our user docs, you should find the format to follow: [Data Grid | Documentation](https://docs.weweb.io/elements/data-grid.html#language-selection) If you find that’s incomplete, don’t hesitate to let us know. ---

Hi Joyce, I had a look at the page and this in particular - ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/3X/4/b/4b6ad63806734bffb04d5b228374b2676e79112b.png) Not sure if this is the correct area, but the No Results to Show is missing. Steve ---

It’s the correct area.
