pascalM-20	Background of the issue: I recently got an error message on my dashboard header while using WPML. I was trying to manage translations for WooCommerce payment gateways. Symptoms: Nous avons détecté un problème avec des tableaux dans la base de données. Erreur de la base de données WordPress : impossible d’effectuer la requête car elle contient des données invalides. Questions: What is causing the database error in WPML? How can I resolve the invalid data error in WordPress?

Noman WPML Supporter since 06/2016 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Karachi (GMT+05:00)	Hi, Thank you for contacting WPML Support and for sharing the screenshot and details. Sometimes, these messages can be false positives that get stuck, and you can verify this by following the steps below: 1. Please attempt to remove the warning message by clicking the small 'x' icon on the message. 2. Afterward, refresh the dashboard to check if the warning message persists. If the message disappears, then everything should be in order. However, if the issue persists, please inform me so that we can further address it. For more detailed information, please refer to the following documentation: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-deal-with-error-messages-about-a-broken-table-that-needs-fixing/#problem-with-some-tables-in-the-database Please let me know the results, Thank you
