TranslatePress Database issue (Collation)

Hi ?? I’m using TranslatePress on my website to translate English to French. Lately it’s struggling to properly show search results in the translated version of my site, and as I looked into updating and optimizing the database (hoping this would fix my search problem), I’ve run into an issue. It throws a database error due to the collation ‘utf8mb4_bin’ not being suitable for the character set ‘latin1’. I’ve looked at the database table it states, and the collation shown there is the latin1 (latin1_swedish_ci), not utf8mb4_bin. My WP-config also states latin1 as the database character set. I don’t known where the utf8mb4_bin comes from, and thus how I can change it to fix the error. My TranslatePress is at Version 2.8.1, WooCommerce 9.1.2, WordPress 6.6 (since this morning, but the error showed well before that). Any and all help is welcome!

Here’s the full error:
