Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.
WPDatatables is not officially compatible with WPML, so you might face issues translating the tables. Kindly check our compatibility list here. (https://wpml.org/plugin/)
In this case, I recommend you to create the translation of the pages that contain such tables using the WordPress Editor, instead of the WPML Translation Editor. This way, you can create the table as you wish, although it takes a bit more effort. You can check the steps on how to do that here:
Basically, select the option and create the translation using your preferred editor. I appreciate your patience on this matter.
Another way, if the plugin authors suggested Loco to translate the tables, please search for the tables strings in WPML-> String Translation.
Kindly check the following steps if you can't find the strings:
1- Go to WPML-> Theme and plugins localization, select your theme/plugin, and scan
2- Go to WPML-> String Translation
3- Scroll down and click on the "Translate texts in admin screens »" link
4- Search for the needed strings
5- Select the strings
6- Click on the "Add to String Translation" button
7- Then click on the "« Return to String Translation" link
8- Translate the strings, clear the cache, and check the front end
Ok, in this case, please make sure that your table respects WPML's rules to fetch and show multilingual data. I recommend you check our documentation for developers in detail:
