alinam-2	By the way, I noticed another "weird" behavior, for a new ticket with you, on media translation. Say, I have an image with a French text. Go to media translation for this image, it leads me to image wpml11a. Then, in DE version, I upload an other image, with German text, with its german "slug" / file name, it leads me to image wpml11b. Result leads me to image wpml11c. The slug / title of the original image (in FR) remains for the DE translation. Though it's name / slug is necessarily different. To be fair, I don't see any good reason why the title / slug remains in original language. Waiting for your feedback on that one too Kind regards Alina

Bigul WPML Supporter since 01/2013 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+02:00)	Hi Alina, Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue. I hope you are trying to achieve the following. If so it is reproducible in a fresh installation and looks like a feature request. 1) Uploading an image and its name is Test Image 2) So the Image Name/Slug will be Test Image 3) Visit WPML>>Media Translation 4) Open the Image Test Image for edit 5) Upload the Image Translation 6) Its file name will be Image d'essai 7) After Image translation, the name of the translated image will be Test Image instead of Image d'essai Please check the following URLs for more details and let us know your feedback.

alinam-2	Hello, Yes, this is it. What I understand is that it it the current normal behavior, yes? This is very surprising because I don't see any good reason why the slug / name stays in original language ... and anyway, it's deadend since 2 different images can't have the same name / slug. Kind regards Alina
