When trying to translate author profiles from EN -> Thai then I cannot find either a) String translation or b) the normal option to duplicate the page into Thai.
However, the secondary language page exists when I type in the /th/ manually hidden link but whenever I try to edit the page its overwritten with default language. When visiting secondary language there is a language switcher to default but when at default there's no switcher to secondary.
I have tried this: hidden link
I cannot find in Settings > Taxonomies translation > Author is not available: hidden link
Languages: English (English )Spanish (Español )Italian (Italiano )

Hello!
The "Author" page is not translatable by default, meaning that you won't find a custom post type or a taxonomy called like that anywhere.
However, the bio/description found on the author's page (in the back-end, on the user's profile) is the one that can be translated, using the option that you mentioned here: hidden link
If, the content is coming from somewhere else, then please let us know because you might need to do something else to make the content translatable.
It's also important to know how is that author page created. are you creating it with a template, by any chance?
great, and what seems to be doubt? I am not sure what seems to be the issue.
As my colleague mentioned you can only translate author name / bio via that option. And if you are adding some custom strings in the author profile PHP template, you will need to follow gettext method as explained in our docs and WordPress guidelines:
