Background of the issue:
I am trying to use a page URL to filter out content and display a table. Since the URL is translated, the data is not visible. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link

Symptoms:
The data table is not visible on the translated page.

Questions:
Why is the data table not visible on the translated page?
How can I ensure the data table appears correctly on translated pages?

Hi there,

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:

https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/

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

Kindly check our guide. (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/)

I hope this helps you. If you need further info, please let me know.

Best regards,
Lucas Vidal

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:

https://wpml.org/documentation/support/

Specially, the hooks reference:

https://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-coding-api/wpml-hooks-reference/

Let me know if that helps. Please note that the creation and maintenance of custom code is outside the scope of our support.
