Hello,

The plugin can be translated using POEDIT or Loco Translate easily. 

I suggest installing Loco Translate since it's within WordPress and it has a simple UI,

you can simply "search and replace" any strings you need.

I can see the Turkish language is still not added to the list of our Plugin's default languages in our Folder.

So you first need to add it there.

I will first give you an example for another Language, and in the end i will just write a small difference for Turkish ( basically just different file and folder name, same steps) :

You can use FTP or your Hosting File manager and go to this path :

../wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/languages

Check if your language locale is there.  For example for Italian, folder should be named as 'it_IT'.

You can check the full list of all WordPress Locale proper folder and file names here.

Here is an example of how i add a new language in Loco Translate, let's say for Spanish ( locale es_ES) :

First, we add a new folder in the FTP path in the plugin languages files in this path :

../wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/languages

For Spanish ( Spain) , i add es_ES folder :

then you can take the "default translations" from English, from en_US folder, copy the 'wpdatatables-en_US.mo' and 'wpdatatables-en_US.po' files and paste them in the new es_ES folder.

Rename both files to be wpdatatables-es_ES.mo

and wpdatatables-es_ES.po.

Then load Loco translate in your WordPress, choose wpDataTables / Spanish language, 

search any strings you wish to edit, and translate them as needed.

When you finish that, it would be nice to send us the translation, so we can include it in our next major update so you don't have to copy this folder from the local machine on every update.

But If you want to use POEDIT then please follow these instructions:

1. Download wpdatatables from our TMS Store and save the wpdatatables.zip file on your computer.

2. Unzip downloaded file.

3. Download and install POEDIT. 

4. After that, open the program and open the file from the extracted folder on your computer wpdatatables/languages/en_US/wpdatatables-en_US.po

5. Translate all the strings in your language.

6. Save the file as the plugin suggests (the language code; for example wpdatatables-id_ID.po if your language is Indonesian) and it will generate a new wpdatatables-id_ID.mo file. You can find your language code here. 

7. Go to wpdatatables/languages/ folder and create a new folder. Name it as the language code for your language (in our case, for Indonesian, it is id_ID) and then copy these two files called wpdatatables-id_ID.po and wpdatatables-id_ID.mo into it. Proceed with copying the whole folder id_ID back to your website in folder ../wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/languages/.

Of course, you will use language code for your language (we use Indonesian language, and its language code "id_ID" is just an example).

When you finish that, it would be nice to send us the translation, so we can include it in our next major update so you don't have to copy this folder from the local machine on every update.

For standard Turkish, you will just use this locale name for the folder :

tr_TR

And these are the names of the files inside ( after you copy and paste the original US files, then rename them)

wpdatatables-en_tr.mo

and

wpdatatables-en_tr.po

then the Loco Translate will recognize you added a Turkish file for translating of the wpDataTables strings.

Just search for "Nothing Selected".

Let me know if that helps.
