Problem:
The client received an error message indicating a problem with the String Translation table in their site, which could become a critical issue in the future.

Solution:
1. Installed the 'Database Management tool - Adminer' plugin to identify that the '_icl_strings' table was missing.
2. Added the following code to the child theme's functions.php file to recreate the missing database tables:

function wpml_fix_missing_icl_tables() {
    if( function_exists( 'icl_sitepress_activate' ) )
        icl_sitepress_activate();
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'wpml_fix_missing_icl_tables' );

3. Visited the home page to trigger the function.
4. Removed the code added in step 2.
5. Deleted the 'wpml_string_table_ok_for_mo_import' key from the '_options' database table.
We also provided a link to our documentation for more details: Missing _icl_strings and _icl_string_translations data tables.
