Prosenjit Barman Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Dhaka (GMT+06:00)	Hello There, Thanks for contacting WPML Support. I understand what you're looking for and will try my best to assist you. If you want to translate image details such as Title, caption, and so on, these details will show up in the translation editor when translating the page or post that contains the image. Please check this screenshot for a better understanding: hidden link Please insert the image into a post or page and try to translate it. Along with the other content, the information associated with the image will show up in the translation editor and you'll be able to add translations for those details. I hope you can understand. Please let me know if you need further clarification or assistance. I will be happy to help. Best regards, Prosenjit

Prosenjit Barman Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Dhaka (GMT+06:00)	Hi There, If you're using the classic translation editor, the information added to the images will still appear in the Translation editor. You'll be able to translate them from there. Please let me know if the information helps. If you need further assistance in this matter, please let me know which translation method you're referring to. I will check and be happy to assist you accordingly. Best regards, Prosenjit

Prosenjit Barman Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Dhaka (GMT+06:00)	Hello There, I will try my best to make it clear to you. If you place an image on a page and then try to translate the page, the information attached to the image will appear for translation in the translation editor. Please check this screenshot: hidden link Now, if you're handling the translations on your site manually or prefer to translate those image information from a specific location, then you should consider installing the Media Translation plugin on your website. This plugin allows you to translate information associated with each image directly from the "WPML > Media Translation" section. To understand how it works, please check this video: hidden link More information about the Media Translation Plugin is available here: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/media-translation/ You can install and activate the plugin by going to the "Plugins > Add New > Commercial" tab. I hope you can understand. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you require further clarification or assistance. I'm here to help. Best regards, Prosenjit
