Hi,

Thank you for contacting the support.

IMPORTANT: Take full backup of your website and database beforehand.

Update all WPML plugins to latest versions. You can try this by going to Plugins -> Add New -> Commercial -> Check for updates or manually downloading from https://wpml.org/account/downloads/ and uploading via Plugins -> Add New -> Upload.

Then try the followings:

- Deactivate and activate WPML plugins again.
- If issue continues to appear, check this errata https://wpml.org/errata/missing-_icl_strings-_icl_string_translations-data-tables/ and follow the instructions very carefully.

Please let me know if this helps resolve the issue. Or I'll try my best to further assist you on the matter.

Regards.

Ok, I think the table seems to have re-created but all the products / pages don't look like linked -> they look like independent products... Attaching the photo -> 1 product and 2 translations show as 3 products.
