camilleC-5	Background of the issue: I am trying to use the automatic translations feature in WPML. It indicates that all TablePress tables are translated, but they are not. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link Symptoms: The TablePress tables are not translated as expected, despite the system indicating they are. Questions: How can I fix the issue where TablePress tables are not translated despite being marked as translated?

Even though the tables can be translated, it's necessary to adjust the ID, so you show the correct table in the correct language. Please follow the steps from this errata: https://wpml.org/errata/tablepress-tables-cant-be-translated/ Let me know how it goes.

camilleC-5	Is it okay if I change the table ID using Elementor? It says that it isn't recommended, but I can't change it using the translation tool.

Directly editing translations created with the Translation Editor, using Elementor usually lead to problems. The solution is to translate the ID in WPML > String Translation. To find it and translate the ID, follow these steps: 1. Go to WPML > Theme and Plugin localization and scan the Table Press plugin; 2. Go to WPML > String Translation and filter for the "admin_texts_tablepress_tables" domain; 3. Find the ID and replace it, as explained here: https://wpml.org/errata/tablepress-tables-cant-be-translated/ Let me know.

camilleC-5	Ok thanks. So I have to repeat this process every time I have a table? I have more than 200 tables, so wondering if there is a way to facilitate this.

camilleC-5	I followed the steps and was able to translate some tables (not completely done yet). But there is one that can't seem to work and I have to idea why. I changed the id 22 (French) for 130 (English). ID 130 can't be found even though the table is created. When I revert back to 22, the French table reappears. Do you have an idea why?
