This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is experiencing fatal errors when trying to access the Translation Management section in WPML, due to missing 'batch_id' column and incorrect data type for 'translation_package' column in the 'wp_icl_translation_status' table.
Solution:
First, add the missing 'batch_id' column by executing the following SQL command:
ALTER TABLE wp_icl_translation_status ADD COLUMN batch_id INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0;
Next, change the data type of the 'translation_package' column to 'longtext' to prevent data corruption. Run this SQL command:
ALTER TABLE wp_rascg4p5t7_icl_translation_status CHANGE translation_package translation_package LONGTEXT COLLATE 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci' NOT NULL AFTER translation_service;
After updating the database, follow these steps to clean up and resend the affected translation:
1. Identify the original post ID.
2. In the 'icl_translations' table, locate the 'trid' for that post ID.
3. Use the 'trid' to filter records in the same table and remove any rows where the 'element_id' column is 'NULL'.
4. Go to WPML > Packages in the WordPress admin and delete the package with the identified ID.
5. Resend the content for translation as usual, following the instructions here: Translating Your Contents.
