Problem: The client was attempting to use the auto translation feature in WPML and encountered an error. The error was due to a missing database table 'wp_icl_string_batches', which caused a type E_ERROR in the WPML plugin files. Solution: To resolve the issue, the client manually deleted the database tables and the associated .mo and .po files, as they were unable to clear the databases through normal procedures. After removing these files, the client installed a fresh version of WPML, which resolved the error and allowed the auto translation feature to function properly.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket.
