This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

You are also having trouble using WPML's Media Translation feature to translate photos for different language versions. Solution: First, to avoid affecting your live site, we have set up a sandbox environment for you to replicate the issue. Please install the necessary theme and plugins there.

Background of the issue:
I’m experiencing an issue with the Woodmart Image Gallery element in the mobile version of my website. In the English version, I’ve set up a carousel using Elementor that displays two photos correctly. However, in the French and German versions, the carousel displays the second photo twice instead of showing both photos individually. I’ve checked the media library, and both photos are available in all three languages (English, French, and German), indicating that the media duplicated correctly. I also expected to translate the photos using WPML's Media Translation feature, but this isn’t working as expected.
Symptoms:
In the French and German versions, the carousel displays the second photo twice instead of showing both photos individually.
Questions:
How can I resolve the issue where the carousel in the French and German versions displays the second photo twice instead of showing both photos individually?
How can I properly utilize WPML's Media Translation feature to translate photos for different language versions, as this does not seem to be working as expected?
Thanks for reaching us. I will need to closely examine your website. Therefore, I will require temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to a test site where the problem has been replicated, if possible. This will enable me to provide better assistance and determine if any configurations need to be modified.
Please note that it is important to have a backup for security purposes and to prevent any potential data loss. You can use the UpdraftPlus plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) to fulfill your backup requirements.
Your upcoming reply will be treated with confidentiality and will only be visible to you and me.
✙ To resolve the issue, I may need your consent to deactivate and reactivate plugins and the theme, as well as make configuration changes on the site if necessary. This emphasizes the significance of having a backup.
I believe there may be compatibility issues with the carousel slider. To investigate further and to prevent causing downtimes to your production Website, I've set up a sandbox site at hidden link . Could you please install the necessary theme and plugins and replicate the issue there?
Once we've replicated the issue, we can escalate it to our second-tier support if additional assistance is needed. I've already installed and activated the WPML plugins. Please let me know how it goes.
Thank you for setting up the sandbox site. I have installed the necessary theme and plugins and successfully replicated the issue in the sandbox environment.
The default and origin language is French. In the English and German versions, only one of the two photos is displayed. Additionally, the media translation does not work as expected.
Please let me know the next steps or if there’s anything else you need from my side.
Thank you for the workaround. I tried it, and it does resolve the issue when there’s only one photo in the image gallery. However, when I select two or more photos, it still repeats some of the photos.
Given this, I’ve decided to switch to using the Elementor carousel instead of the Woodmart Image Gallery element.
