Problem:
I am getting this error message:
'MySQL server has gone away

Array
(
[language] => en

with the message to contact WPML support to solve this.

Solution:
The 'MySQL server has gone away' message usually means that your hosting cut the connection to the database. This can happen for internal issues, maintenance, etc.

If you see that notification, it has a close link ("x" button) that you can press and if it doesn't appear again, then it means the problem is gone.

If the message returns, I'm afraid that your hosting company will be more able to help you with this, since it also might be caused by a too low setting for max_allowed_packet.
