andreasH-126	Background of the issue: I use 'WordPress Editor' (in this case Divi) instead of ATE to translate the pages on my site hidden link. I have translated the image alt and title texts using the WPML Media Translation tool. Symptoms: The translated pages don't use the image alt and title texts that I have translated in the WPML Media Translation tool. Instead, they use the alt and title text from the default language Media Library. Questions: Is it possible to have the translated ALT and TITLE texts used when using a WordPress editor like Divi?

Then, translate this page in WordPress, and in the translated version, insert the image I’ve already uploaded to the media library (the red test image). I’ve installed Divi and translated this image using the media translation feature — all the meta information has been added. Let me know if you can reproduce the same issue from your site.

andreasH-126	If I insert a new image or re-insert an image on a translated page, the translated alt text is applied correctly. But if I translate a page, using WordPress Editor (Divi), that already has an image, that image keeps the original alt text, even if the image alt text is translated in WPML Media Translation. To apply the alt text translation, I need to re-add the image to the translated page. This seems like a workaround, and is very time-consuming if a page has many images.

Before I check this out with our Compatibility team, could you please record a short video (using a tool like hidden link) showing the steps you’re taking and how the issue appears on your end? Please reproduce the issue on this sandbox site: hidden link This will help ensure I fully understand the workflow and don’t miss any details before I share it with our Compatibility team.
