Background of the issue:
I uploaded images, and it's showing perfectly in the default language on my site hidden link. However, when I switch to the secondary language, which is Arabic, some images are not showing. I want to display the default images in the secondary language as well. Additionally, I want to know how to show different selected images in the secondary language if needed.
Symptoms:
The image is not visible in the secondary language (Arabic) on my site.
Questions:
How can I display the default images in the secondary language using WPML?
What options do I have to select to show different selectted images in a secondary language?

Hi,
If your goal is to ensure that images appear properly in the translated (Arabic) version — even if they were originally uploaded only in the default language — then enabling the following options in the **WPML Media Translation** settings will help. These options duplicate media attachments and featured images across translations.
- Translate existing media in all languages
- Duplicate existing media for translated content
- Duplicate the featured images for translated content
- When uploading media to the Media Library, make it available in all languages
Once you've selected these, click the *Start* button to apply the changes and process existing media.
Also, to help us pinpoint the issue more effectively, could you please let us know exactly which images are missing on the Arabic version of your site? There are several images on the front page, and identifying the affected ones will allow us to investigate further.
Feel free to send a screenshot or URL pointing to the missing content.
I want to use the same images from the default language for the secondary language as well. However, for a few selected images, I would like to display different ones in the secondary language. These below images of the slider is not showing in the arabic version.
