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

Problem:
The client wants to copy the default media graphics to all other languages on their site.
Solution:
We recommend using the Media Translation options available in WPML -> Settings. Specifically, you can use:
- Translate existing media in all languages
- Duplicate existing media for translated content
However, please note that this may not automatically fill in image data such as descriptions, alt texts, or custom fields for images that lack this data but are already present in other language media libraries.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting WPML support!

There are Media Translation options on WPML -> Settings you can use, namely:

- Translate existing media in all languages
- Duplicate existing media for translated content

However note that this may not fill in image data (such as descriptions, alt texts, custom fields) for images that are missing this data but are already present in other language media libraries.

Regards,
Bruno Kos
