[Resolved] translate media

Hi there,

Please review the following documentation if you are attempting to have different images per language:
https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/media-translation/

However, if you just need to translate the image caption, I believe that should have been included in the advanced translation editor.

Please do the following test:

1. Create a test page and add just a title and an image with a caption
2. Add the translation by clicking on the "+" icon and once it is finished (I assume it's an automatic translation) edit the translation to review it.

Do you see the media caption listed in the ATE editor?

I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to test the issue.
(preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible)

**Before we proceed It is necessary to take FULL BACKUP of your database and your website. Providing us with access, you agree that a backup has been taken **

For example, the title Dekorativna japonica is found in the ATE editor, but it relates to the Yoast Keyword rather than the media which is why the media is not translated.

If you go to WPML Media Translation I can see that the media has been translated to all languages, however, the content is from the default language.

- WPML -> media translation
- Locate the media and click to edit the translation in English
- Add the translation and save
- Update the default language page, which should also update the translations.

(You can do this in bulk by bulk selecting and then running a quick edit->update)

notice the warning "Any changes you make to the text here will not affect any previous publications of this media on your website. This edited version will only appear if you select it from the library to be embedded.

Hi there,

I have made a quick test using a page.

See here:

The issue seems to be with the featured media.

-- If I add a media in the WP Editor the details of it are pulled into the Advanced Translation Editor which in turn is automatically translated.

However, the featured image is not.

The feature image is pulling it's translation from WPML->Media Translation.

If you go to WPML->Media Translation you can see that all media has a translation but if you review it's translation it's in the default language which is causing this issue.

You will need to manually "fix" these to use the actual translation. This part is not automatically translated. Do you remember adding these duplicate translations before? Or possibly somebody else in the team?

I was able to automatically translate the metadata of the featured image in the ATE by doing the following:

- Go to WPML->Settings->WPML Media-> activate "Translate media library texts with posts" (*done this for you already)

- Go to WPML->Translation Management->Filter by products

- Select "Dekorativna jadrnica PD 21×26,5×1,5cm"

- Translate automatically and send to translation (note you might want to select to overwrite the existing translations)

This will automatically translate the media texts.

I have tested it with this product and it worked well, I recommend you test it with 2-5 products to begin with.

NOTE: I only did the test in the EN language.

Hi Saso,

Bobby is unavailable today, so I'll provide a quick response. A 504 error is typically related to the server taking too long to answer.

Could you try again with fewer products, perhaps around 50 or 100 at a time?
