[Resolved] Do I really have to insert the media files into every translation by hand?

Hello Diego

I am a little bit late, sorry.

Site A)
A 4-language-site with 1600 pics which have been translated via WP-media-library:
I reinstalled media translation - the issue was fixed and I was even able to translate existing pics via WP-media-library(!).
BUT:Added a new page with a new pic, translated the page, then
- translated the pic via media translation -> din't work.
- translated the pic via WP-media-library -> didn't work.
In both cases only german alt- and title-tags are shown.

Site B)
Work in progress: German Version with pics finished.
- Deactivated media translation, then reactivated it. -> Was able to translate the already uploaded pics with media translation.
BUT: Added a new page with a new pic, translated the page, translated the pic via media translation -> didn't work. Only german alt- and title-tags are shown.

Site A + B
de- and reactivated plugins, reinstalled plugins etc., tried the same Website on different hostings -> no change

Bizarre(?) - and I do still need assistance.

Thank you.

Fabian

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.
Funny: on one hosting the classical translation editor showed me all the avia-framework-tags on the other none of them.

Anyway:
As new sites are concerned I will translate them as described above, adding one more step: reinsert the pics manually in every translation. It's less efficent as it was before, but at the very least it's working.
For existing sites - where the translated title- and alt-texts have showed up once but do not show any more - well, I really do not like to think about retranslating some thousand pics with Media Translation never knowing if this time the tool will do do its job.

To come to the conclusion:
Maybe it's me who is doing something wrong. Maybe it's WPML. I do not know. But what I know is that changing something that's worked well for years is not always the best of the good ideas. And as a matter of fact: something changed within WPML.

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
Fabian
