Hello,

Yes.  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.

First, please check if the language you need is already one of our existing language folders in the Plugin

or if you need to add a new folder there.

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.

If you can't see your language folder, then you need to add a new folder and name it appropriately for the WP locale.

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.

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.

Let me know if that helps.

And sorry if that was too many details - I just like to clarify each step of the process.

Thank you.
