That makes sense. I guess `elements_i18n.enabled` is written as `localeEnabled` throughout the code.

<p>It appears, toggling the status button on an entry affects only the <code>elements.enabled</code> value.  What affects the <code>elements_i18n.enabled</code> value?  When and how would we choose to update the <code>enabled</code> column in the <code>elements_i18n</code> table?</p>
