Problem: The client logged into their dashboard and received an alert in Italian indicating a problem with some database tables and suggesting contacting WPML support. The symptom described was a 'MySQL server has gone away' error, which was unexpected as no alerts were anticipated. Solution: We recommend the following steps to address the issue: 1. Click the small 'x' icon on the warning message to attempt to remove it. 2. Refresh the dashboard to see if the warning message still appears. If the message disappears, the system is likely functioning correctly. For more detailed information, refer to our documentation: Handling Error Messages About Broken Tables

Problem: You need to remove unused strings from uninstalled plugins that are still present in the WPML string translation. Solution: To delete all the untranslated strings belonging to a particular domain, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to WPML → String Translation. 2. Scroll down to 'Remove strings by domain' and click 'Remove strings'. 3. Select the domains of strings you don’t need anymore and click 'Remove'. This will ensure that the untranslated strings in these domains will no longer appear on the String Translation screen.
