ronnyK-4	I imported some german images to my site that has default lanugage english. I wold like the media to be german to spare a lot of work. I tried with UPDATE prefix_translations t JOIN prefix_posts p ON p.ID = t.element_id SET t.language_code = 'de' WHERE p.post_type = 'attachment' AND p.post_date_gmt < '2023-01-01'; but gives an error on the trid_lang index about duplicate values

Can you please check if this workaround suffices for you? - Please make a full backup of the site just in case - Remove the media you imported - Temporarily change the main language of the site to German inside WPML -> Languages - Import the media again and check if they belong to the German language now - Go back to WPML -> Languages and return the main language to English Please give it a try and let us know if it works as expected. Mateus
