Problem:
You are preparing your theme for translation and have encountered difficulty registering hardcoded image alt tags as single strings for translation.
Solution:
To register hardcoded image alt tags in your theme for translation, you need to wrap these strings with a GETTEXT call. We recommend reading our guide for developers on how to use GETTEXT for more detailed instructions: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/how-to-use-gettext/

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case.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 issue persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Problem:
You are trying to ensure that translated pages in French Canadian display the same images and strings as the original version, specifically for header and footer logos and social media text stored as ACF fields on an Options Page. Despite setting the field group to 'Expert' mode in WPML, registering fields as strings, and applying the 'Copy' setting, the French Canadian version returns NULL for image IDs.
Solution:
First, ensure that WPML creates an image for each language with a proper ID by navigating to WPML > Settings > Media Translation and clicking "Start". Allow the dialog to complete without closing the tab, as this scans the media library and creates any missing entries in second languages.

If the issue persists, it might be due to the ACF option field copying the original ID incorrectly. Go to your Options page, switch the language in the top admin bar, and edit the logo ID using the correct ID for the translated logo. Set the ACF field to "Copy once" in "Expert" mode or set the whole group to "Different fields across languages". To find the translated logo ID, switch the language in the media library, open the logo, and check its ID.

If these steps do not resolve your issue, or if the solution becomes outdated, we recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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.
