                "language": {
                    "url": "//cdn.datatables.net/plug-ins/1.10.21/i18n/Turkish.json"
                },


                initComplete: function () {
                    this.api().columns().every( function () {
                        var column = this;
                        var select = $('<select><option value=""></option></select>')
                            .appendTo( $(column.header())  )
                            .on( 'change', function () {
                                var val = $.fn.dataTable.util.escapeRegex(
                                    $(this).val()
                                );

                                    .search( val ? '^'+val+'$' : '', true, false )
                                    .draw();
                            } );
                        column.data().unique().sort().each( function ( d, j ) {
                            select.append( '<option value="'+d+'">'+d+'</option>' )
                        } );
                    } );
                }
            } );
        } );

    The columns API takes an array of column indexes to select the columns. You can do something like this in line 10:

    this.api().columns( [1] ).every( function () {
