Translated image Title and ALT are not shown in the secondary language - Enfold

Resolved

Reported for: WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency 3.6.3

Overview of the issue

Translated image title and ALT are not shown on the front-end of the translated Enfold page. You might encounter this issue in the following scenario:

  1. Add an image to your media library and translate the title and ALT text.
  2. Create a page using the Avia Builder.
  3. Add an image element.
  4. Choose the image you uploaded and translated in step 1.
  5. Translate the page.

On the front-end, you will see that the original image title and ALT texts are being displayed in the secondary language.

Workaround

To overcome this issue, open the image.php file found in the ../enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/ folder of your WordPress installation and add the following code:

$attachment = apply_filters('wpml_object_id', $attachment, 'attachment', true);

Add it just before the following line:

$attachment_entry = get_post( $attachment );

  1. Hey there. Having the same problem on a number of pages. Not using WooCommerce though. Seems to be a more general problem. I’d be greatful for a fix in one of the coming versions. Thanks!

  2. The workaround works fine. Thanks a lot. If I choose a page in Translation Dashboard, the dialogue “Choose which media to translate with this page” does not show up, if the media is used in an enfold image. Is there also a workaround that helps recognizing media in enfold images?
    Thanks!
