My best client is an EDI software company and I've been working with them for about twenty years. A large part of the work consists of translating software strings (data), which are simply chunks of text in Spanish which I translate into English.

I could try to guess, but that would not be very fruitful. My advice in this case is to ask the company, agency or person who used the expression in the first place exactly what they mean, if this is possible.
FWIW, here's a link to a definition of "data packaging":

To work with data packaging, it seems you would need to have some sort of programming knowledge, about metadata markers in general and specifically about the different formats used:
Formats including:
• HTML, XML, JSON-LD
• DC, MARC, Schema.org

Usually, when translating software strings, we only have to translate the actual words in Spanish into English, but leave all the coding markers, separators, functions, metadata, etc... intact. Perhaps this is what they are referring to.
If you could give us an example in context of how the expression "data packaging" is used, we might be able to suggest a better solution.

I have been unable to find "data package" or "data packaging" in any of my hundreds of reference books about translation, linguistics or language. Are you able to share more information about where you encountered this term?
