Problem: The client needs to ensure that image meta fields are automatically translated in such a way that the image remains the same across all languages, both when using automatic translation and when manually translating posts or taxonomies. Solution: 1. To ensure images are available in all languages when using automatic translation, navigate to WPML > Settings > Media translation. Verify that the images exist in all languages by checking in Media > All and switching between languages. This setting uses the same file but ensures the image exists in the database for all languages. 2. For manual translations where you want the image to be set automatically, go to WPML > Settings > Custom fields, find your custom field, and set it to COPY. This will copy the same image IDs to your translated posts.
