The table 1 id has to be able to repeat since the same "entity" needs multiple translations. Using a serial on table 2 is also possible but a separate issue and probably not worth adding since you need a unique index on (id_table1, id_lang) regardless. The question is why isn't there some kind of identifier on table 1 that gives you some idea of what the id/table record is for?
