This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client expressed frustration about having to manually select each image for translation for each product, with over 100 images per product and over 100 products, making the process very time-consuming.
Solution:
We acknowledged the inconvenience caused by the current manual selection process. We have updated WPML to version 4.7, which now includes a feature where all relevant images for the posts are automatically included when the post is selected for translation from the Translation Management Dashboard. This should significantly reduce the manual effort required.

If this solution does not apply to your situation, or if it seems outdated, we recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If issues persist, please open a new support ticket.

2.) Each of our products have over 100 images, we have over 100 products. So you are confirming that I must select EVERY box, individually, for over 100 images, for over 100 products, in order to translate the Media? This is 100% asinine.

As per the discussion in https://wpml.org/forums/topic/media-translation-does-not-seem-to-be-working/#post-14069781:

Unfortunately that's how it is for now. I discussed the matter with my team and we understand that when there are so many images (like in your case), the task becomes time consuming. I'll create a feature request for this issue, by splitting it into a separate ticket. So we can keep track of it accordingly.

Just wanted to update you that this should have been fixed in new version 4.7, where now all relevant images for the posts are included when the post is selected for translation from TM Dashboard.
