This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: The client reported multiple PHP warnings and a WordPress database error related to the WPML String Translation plugin and database operations. Solution: We identified that the issues are associated with a known bug in WPML version 4.9. We recommend reverting to the previous stable versions of WPML and WPML String Translation until the issue is resolved in the upcoming 4.9.1 release. We have implemented this solution on the staging site, and it appears to resolve the errors. Please verify on your end and contact us if the problem persists or if new issues arise.
Please note that this solution might become outdated or may not apply to your specific situation. We highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket.

I’m still experiencing recurring WPML database errors and would like your help diagnosing and fixing the root cause.
Environment
WordPress + WooCommerce (multilingual)
Plugins involved: WPML Multilingual CMS, String Translation, WooCommerce Multilingual (and WPML Translation Management / ATE features are enabled/used)
PHP-FPM 8.3 (server logs show FastCGI stderr)
Database: MariaDB/MySQL
Site is hosted on Kinsta
Main errors seen in logs (examples)
Missing WPML table
WordPress database error Table '...wp_icl_translate_job' doesn't exist for query SELECT MAX(job_id) FROM wp_icl_translate_job;
This happens on requests like:
GET /fr/wp-json/wpml/v1/credits (from WPML Translation Management dashboard)
Duplicate key errors (unique constraints)
Duplicate entry '7855329-en' for key 'trid_lang' for queries inserting into *_icl_translations with element_type = 'post_attachment' (often triggered when saving WooCommerce variations / media sync)
Duplicate entry '398026' for key 'translation_id' for queries inserting into *_icl_translation_status
i have performed another WPML translations and have additionnal errors:

1) Could you please share the exact steps to reproduce the issue on your end? That will help me better understand and investigate it.
2) Please create a staging site (you can use the WP Staging plugin) and provide wp-admin access so I can check further. I may need to temporarily disable some plugins or switch the theme during troubleshooting.
I just click on Translations to launch automatic translations of my products. The errors appear immediately , and more errors appear after I finish the translations process
I checked your staging site and tried visiting a few pages, updating products, and re-translating products, but I still can’t reproduce any of the errors you mentioned.
Could you please review the staging site again, try to reproduce the issue, and then share exact step-by-step instructions so I can see one example of the problem (what page/product to open, what action to take, and what error you see). Once I can reproduce it, I’ll be able to investigate and proceed further.
Note: I installed a debug plugin, so you can quickly check the logs from the top admin bar under “Debug quick look”.
I tried to access the site and reproduce what you reported, but while enabling/disabling WPML plugins it seems something caused an issue and now I can no longer access wp-admin it returns a server 500 error. I also tried disabling WPML via FTP, but it did not make much difference, so I am not sure if the FTP access is connected to this staging site.
Could you please check and restore the staging site?
Once it is accessible again, I will take a copy of the website and continue debugging locally. This will make it easier to avoid the issues above and allow me to review the logs more effectively.
Hello I made a mistake and I gave you my live FTP website credentials with my STAGING wpadmin website, can you confirm you have reverted any modifications please also allow me to send you the new credentials for staging
I did not make any changes to your files. I only temporarily renamed the WPML folder (by adding “1” at the end) and then restored it to its original name.
1) Regarding your website, my current access is quite limited, so there is not much I can check or troubleshoot directly. I also attempted to create a backup/package, but it seems the plugins we normally use (Duplicator, All-in-One Migration) are blocked by your hosting environment. Most errors are also not being recorded in the debug.log, which makes deeper investigation difficult. Additionally, I do not have database access to review the tables or verify whether any indexes are missing.
2) Alternatively, you can provide us with a backup of your website (ZIP files excluding images) together with a database export, so we can deploy it locally and investigate further. At the moment, based on what I can see, it is very likely that some WPML database tables or indexes are corrupted, but unfortunately I cannot continue debugging or attempt fixes with the current level of access.
