I started using the very nice Element UI components, and when I try to add the pagination component in my project using 

<el-pagination @size-change="handleSizeChange" @current-change="handleCurrentChange" :current-page.sync="currentPage4" :page-sizes="[100, 200, 300, 400]" :page-size="100" layout="total, sizes, prev, pager, next, jumper" :total="400">
</el-pagination>

the text appears in chineese like this: Element UI Pagination component in chineese instead of english

It also happens on their JSFiddle sample, but it's not happening on their website.

Do you know how can I use it in english?

import Vue from 'vue'
import ElementUI from 'element-ui'
import 'element-ui/lib/theme-chalk/index.css'
import locale from 'element-ui/lib/locale/lang/en'
import App from './App.vue'

Vue.use(ElementUI, { locale })

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  render: h => h(App)
})

Just add

<script src="//unpkg.com/element-ui"></script>
<script src="//unpkg.com/element-ui/lib/umd/locale/en.js"></script>

and

<script>
  ELEMENT.locale(ELEMENT.lang.en)
</script>

It is also recommend that for production, you use a specific version of the unpkg. You can find the latest version by loading the url's (without the leading //) in your browser and then copying the redirected url.

By default the language of Element is Chinese. If you wish to use another language, you'll need to do some i18n configuration.

If you are importing Element entirely: (In your entry file, usually found in src > main.js configure it as shown below)

import Vue from 'vue'
import ElementUI from 'element-ui'
import locale from 'element-ui/lib/locale/lang/en'

Vue.use(ElementUI, { locale })

But if you are importing Element on-demand and not in your entire application:

// Here we are importing only the Button and Select component from Element
import Vue from 'vue'
import { Button, Select } from 'element-ui'
import lang from 'element-ui/lib/locale/lang/en'
import locale from 'element-ui/lib/locale'

// configure language
locale.use(lang)

// import components
Vue.component(Button.name, Button)
Vue.component(Select.name, Select)

Important: The Chinese language pack is imported by default, even if you're using another language. But with NormalModuleReplacementPlugin provided by webpack you can replace default locale: In your webpack.config.js file

{
  plugins: [
   new webpack.NormalModuleReplacementPlugin(/element-ui[\/\\]lib[\/\\]locale[\/\\]lang[\/\\]zh-CN/, 'element-ui/lib/locale/lang/en')
  ]
}

In case you’re already setting the locale as suggested, this might also be caused by inconsistent bundling:

  1. Your bundler might inline the element-ui/locale import
  2. Your bundler might treat the element-ui import as external
  3. Therefore, you set the locale on a second copy of the file instead of within element UI itself
  4. Element-ui then reads from its own copy and ignores yours

(See https://github.com/3YOURMIND/kotti/pull/264 for a real PR that fixed a bundling issue like this)
