Problem:
You are working with Transperfect to integrate translations into your site, but you are encountering issues with Tablepress tables not translating.

mattD-14	Background of the issue: I am working with Transperfect, a translation service, to implement connections into our site which is currently under development. We are in the process of integrating translations for various components of the site. Symptoms: We are receiving the initial Pseudo translations for all components except the Tablepress tables, which are not translating. Questions: Why are the Tablepress tables not translating? What steps can be taken to resolve the issue with Tablepress tables not translating?

mattD-14	That's disappointing. Is this in the roadmap or will this continue to be a problem for the foreseeable future?

Christopher Amirian Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Yerevan (GMT+04:00)	Hi there, The last communication we had with the developers they mentioned it is not possible to do so and that is something which is outside of our control. Please consider that the workaround my colleague mentioned works if you use separate tables for each language: https://wpml.org/errata/tablepress-tables-cant-be-translated/ Thanks.
