OET (OET-RV) However, I still can’t be happy as long as I keep seeing that Yehudi (Jew), Mordekai, sitting there at the king’s gate.”
Haman was delighted that Esther had invited him to eat with the king again, since it was a great honor. But on his way home, he became angry when Mordecai once more refused to show him the respect he thought he was owed, and, taking his friends’ advice, he decided to kill him.
Yet none of this satisfies me as long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
But when I keep seeing that Jew called Mordecai sitting at the palace entrance, none of these things give me any joy.”
But all these things are not enough to keep me happy while I can still see day after day that Jew Mordecai sitting at the palace entrance.”
the king’s gate: See note on 5:9b. Again, here this refers literally to the entrance to the king’s palace.

וְכָל־זֶ֕ה אֵינֶ֥נּוּ שֹׁוֶ֖ה לִ֑י בְּכָל־עֵ֗ת אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲנִ֤י רֹאֶה֙
and=all this not,it (Some words not found in UHB: and=all this not,it satisfy to=me in=all time which/who I see DOM Mārəddəkay the,Jew sitting at,the_gate_of of,the_king )
This is a figurative way of speaking. It is as if Haman is weighing his happiness on one side of a scale and his unhappiness on the other side. Haman is saying that his happiness over all the honors he has received is still not greater than his unhappiness over seeing Mordecai fail to honor him, so on balance, he is unhappy. Alternate translation: [I still cannot be happy as long as I keep seeing] or [all of this does not make me happy] or [… does not satisfy me]
וְכָל־זֶ֕ה
and=all this
Haman is continuing to speak here. You can show this by beginning with “Then Haman said.”

(Some words not found in UHB: and=all this not,it satisfy to=me in=all time which/who I see DOM Mārəddəkay the,Jew sitting at,the_gate_of of,the_king )
This phrase gives clarifying information about Mordecai.

(Some words not found in UHB: and=all this not,it satisfy to=me in=all time which/who I see DOM Mārəddəkay the,Jew sitting at,the_gate_of of,the_king )
Haman could be referring to the way Mordecai has been refusing to stand up to honor him, or he could be referring generally to the way Mordecai has never honored him (by either bowing or standing up) ever since he was appointed to a position in the king’s service and stationed at the gate. Either way, being reminded of this dishonor is the reason why Haman continues to be unhappy. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: [sitting at the citadel gate and refusing to honor me]
