Thanks for contacting us.

You can only translate your media meta information using the Advanced Translation Editor such as caption and alt texts.

If you wish to display another image on your translated pages, you'll have to use the media translation addon as explained here. https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/media-translation/

I hope this clears it up.
