Background of the issue:
This is a general request about WPML Media Translation
WPML Media 3.0 is out, and offers automation for alt and title tags translation.
I have quite some SEO knowledge and can affirm:
- Alt are important for SEO purposes
- Titles are absolutely useless for SEO issues. I even purposely don't translate them, and stick to english, so that whatever the language (that I might understand or not, I know what an image is aboun when crawling any language library. I hide meta titles from the frontend and use them form librart organization purposes
- However, one thing I really miss is being able to speed up the process of uploading replacemnet images through media translation.
For 80% of my image I just take the orginal one, edit its name, and upload it.
Ex : [EN] red-apple.webp >> [FR] pomme-rouge.webp.
It's the same image a localized filename (and of course localized alt later on), and I keep doing this because it's important for SEO.
Still it's extremely time consuming.
Symptoms:
There is no auto translation process for filenames, making the process of translating images inefficient.
Questions:
Why not offer an auto translation of filenames process?
How can I make the process of uploading the same image with a different name more efficient?
