Images Added to WooCommerce Product Short Descriptions Not Being Translated

Overview of the Issue

The translation of images using WPML Media Translation may not function as expected for images inserted into the short description of a WooCommerce product. You may observe that, despite translating the image, it does not appear in the translated version of the product’s short description.

Workaround

Please, make sure of having a full backup of your site before proceeding.

• Open …/wp-content/plugins/wpml-media-translation/classes/media-translation/class-wpml-media-post-images-translation.php file.
• Look for line 146.
• Replace:

  if ( $post_content_filtered !== $post->post_content ) {
  	$this->wpdb->update(
  		$this->wpdb->posts,
  		array( 'post_content' => $post_content_filtered ),
  		array( 'ID' => $post->ID ),
  		array( '%s' ),
  		array( '%d' )
  	);
  }

• with:

  if ( $post_content_filtered !== $post->post_content ) {
  	$this->wpdb->update(
  		$this->wpdb->posts,
  		array( 'post_content' => $post_content_filtered ),
  		array( 'ID' => $post->ID ),
  		array( '%s' ),
  		array( '%d' )
  	);
  }
  
  $post_excerpt_filtered = $this->images_updater->replace_images_with_translations(
  	$post->post_excerpt,
  	$post_element->get_language_code(),
  	$post_element->get_source_language_code()
  );
  
  if ( $post_excerpt_filtered !== $post->post_excerpt ) {
  	$this->wpdb->update(
  		$this->wpdb->posts,
  		array( 'post_excerpt' => $post_excerpt_filtered ),
  		array( 'ID' => $post->ID ),
  		array( '%s' ),
  		array( '%d' )
  	);
  }
