Steps to reproduce the issue

Use the batch functionality to copy articles to another category

I thought batch wasnt working at all because even though it said success the articles were not there.
But after a new install with multilingual and trying again I noticed that the mutlingual associations component was reporting more articles.

Checking the database I can see that batch process IS WORKING but something else in workflows is preventing the articles from being found.

Checking the database table _workflow_associations I can see that there are only 5 records so I think we can assume that there are two problems presented here.

1. Batch is not creating a record in the database table _workflow_associations so com_content doesnt think the articles exists
2. Multilingual Associations component is not querying the the database table _workflow_associations to decide what content to display
