Change word choice in table information display

What about this issue? My opinion is I am agree with @mrdrewkeller and its ask, and I prefer Showing to Start. For me telling showing ... to ... is clear, and start ... to ... is less clear. Moreover in the datatables code,

datatables.module:174:    'sInfo' => t('Start @START to @END of @TOTAL entries', [
datatables.module:179:    'sInfoEmpty' => t('Showing 0 to 0 of 0 entries'),

The two writings are use. So the ask is also to make a choice. The text is translatable. An other possibility, Displaying, but longer.

Just in case, the corresponding patch for 2x-dev. Same change than #2 🐛 Change word choice in table information display Needs work

More arguments about this choice #6. Found in the DataTables library,

datatables/media/src/model/model.defaults.js:1467:         "sInfo": "Showing _START_ to _END_ of _TOTAL_ entries",
datatables/media/src/model/model.defaults.js:1486:         "sInfoEmpty": "Showing 0 to 0 of 0 entries",

Same choice than the parent library choice seems a good choice.

As written in #5 please use the same wording as Drupal Views does. @Chris64 could you please prepare a MR accordingly?

MR ready.

Thanks, I changed this to be 1:1 consistent with views. Views uses:
Displaying @start - @end of @total

I'm unsure if we should better use a different text for
'sInfoEmpty' => t('Showing 0 to 0 of 0 entries'),
which for now I also changed to
Displaying 0 - 0 of 0
to be consistent, but I don't really like it at all this way. But we don't have to focus on this here.

@Chris64 could you please review my final changes?

@Anybody, in core there is,

modules/views/src/Plugin/views/area/Result.php:25:
      'default' => $this->t('Displaying @start - @end of @total'),

Your choice,

    'sInfo' => t('Displaying @start - @end of @total', [
    'sInfoEmpty' => t('Displaying 0 - 0 of 0'),

match with it, therefore OK for me. Perhaps make the change and see the feed back.

Thanks, yes let @diqidoq decide what to do with the empty message. Anything else is fine now and we could just keep the empty message like this for now or change it. Should not eat too much time ;)

@Anybody, in fact there is a problem, a phpcs one, and the change

      '@total' => '_TOTAL_'
->
      '@total' => '_TOTAL_',

should be done. See 📌 Fix the issues reported by phpcs Needs work .

Some mistakes from trying to edit directly in the Drupal Git. To ignore.
Here the MR corresponding to the asked small change.

Excellently investigated and finally completed! Agreed 100%. Thanks @ all.
