  Try experimenting with infoCallback option as shown below.

  infoCallback: function(settings, start, end, max, total, pre){
      return (!isNaN(total))
          ? "Showing " + start + " to " + end + " of " + total + " entries"
             + ((total !== max) ? " (filtered from " + max + " total entries)" : "")
          : "Showing " + start + " to " + (start + this.api().data().length - 1) + " entries";
  }
  

  See this example for code and demonstration.

  Thanks, but I need to keep translations (my application could be displayed in multiple languages).
  Can I use texts from the translation files with this solution?

  Yes, use language.infoFiltered to remove the _MAX_ property.

  Note that DataTables does expect the recordsTotal to be returned!

  I'm sorry but I'm not sure to understand.

  I don't want to remove the _MAX_ property.
  I am looking for a way to hide the infoFiltered message if recordsTotal is null.

  It could be possible to add your own key to the language property and use i18n method to access it in customized infoCallback function.

  Yup - infoCallback is the only way to handle the case where it might be null or might be a number. However, as I noted, this is not something that DataTables expects - it is not a supported use case.
