Hi! Once upon a time: Nowadays: I also tried the new Media Translation Module - but - to be honest - as far as I'm concerned, the statements in this regard are incomprehensible; I simply don't get it. Thanks |

Hello Fabian, welcome to the WPML support Forum! Please take a look at this article, it talks about the major changes in the new WPML Media Translator: https://wpml.org/pt-br/2018/06/important-changes-in-how-media-translation-works-since-wpml-4-0/ Please go to WPMl > Settings > Media Translation > How to handle media for new content, check all fields and click on "Apply". It should fix the "insert pictures again" step. Many old Media Translator features have been moved to the WPML core. If the issue persist, please disable the WPML Media Translator plugin and test again. Please let me know if it worked for you. All the best, |

Hi there, The right way to translate the media is through the WPML > Media Translation menu. Are you using the Translation Editor or the Manual Editor to translate the pages? If you use the Translation Editor, it's also possible to translate the title/alt tags through the Translation Screen of the page (see screenshot). If you translate using this mode, the issue still persist? Kind regards, |

Good morning, Diego As far as I'm concerned WPML doesn't work any more. The only way I am able to translate the images' title- and alt-texts is by translating them via the WP-media-library and replacing them manually in the specific translations. In other words: the once quick and clean workflow for self-translators - translating pages with the WP-editor, then translating images in the WP-media-library - has been destroyed. Should I wonder why..? I tested WPML on two different hostings. I've tested manual translation and the classic translation editor. Even the last one does not work - the translated pics' title- and alt-tags do not show up. Anyway: To come to the conclusion: I've run out of ideas what else to to. I hope you do not because I would be really happy if you could me provide with a solution. Thanks |

Hello Fabian, Could you send us the credentials of this site where the media fields are not displayed in the Translation Editor? This way I can check if there is any incorrect configuration and do some testing. If possible, please create a page of these with some media so that I can check. I have enabled the private field for the credentials. Kind regards, |

Hi there, Thanks! I did the following test: This is the default behavior, apparently working correctly. Is there any other step I can do to reproduce the issue? If so, just let me know and I will take a look. Kind Regards, |

Hi there I see: Pics inserted into the normal WP-Editor will be translated with WPML Classic Translation Editor. No problem. But I'm working with a site editor: Enfold - which should be compatible with WPML => https://wpml.org/de/theme/enfold/. Conclusion: Enfold is having compatibility problems with WPML Translation Manager: I will adress the Enfold-Team - unless you have a better idea..? Thanks, Diego. Kind regards. |

Hi there, I added the image using the media element of the Enfold builder and apparently it worked. Is there any other media element that I should test? Regarding the other issue, this is our workflow for compatibility issues: Could you give me more details about these other issues? I will take a look We need a ticket for each different issue. but I can split this ticket into more parts to speed up. For this, please send the details of each issue in a different answer in this topic. Kind regards, |

Hi Diego Thank you for your assistance. I am sorry, but actually I have a lot of work to do and unfortunately no time to pursue all the difficulties with due diligence. Except this: avia-framework-tags are showing up in WPML translation manager. Can these be hidden? Kind regards, New threads created by Diego Pereira and linked to this one are listed below: |
