This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is attempting to translate media on their WordPress site using WPML but encounters issues because the media is not translated. The Houzez Theme used by the client is currently not marked as compatible with WPML, which complicates the translation process.
Solution:
1. To translate media elements, follow the steps in our official documentation: WPML Media Translation Guide.
2. Meta information for images (like alt and caption) will only be translated automatically if they are used on a page or post that is translated using the WPML Translation Editor. However, since the Houzez Theme is not compatible, we recommend translating this information manually within the media library or using WPML > Media Translation.
3. For images used as a background in page builders like Elementor, ensure they are part of the content to be translatable automatically. If the image is added as a style setting (e.g., background-image), it will not be translated automatically.
4. If encountering issues with theme compatibility, inform the Houzez Support about the issues between Houzez and WPML for further assistance.
Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your case. 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 the problem persists, please open a new support ticket.
